The station_list file¶
The station list CSV file is used to describe the point locations at which globsim output is needed.
Headers¶
The station list CSV file uses the following headers for the data columns:
| header | required? | Description |
station_number |
yes | An integer. Must be unique within the file. |
station_name |
yes | The name of the location. Must be unique within the file. |
latitude_dd |
yes | The WGS84 latitude of the location in decimal degrees. |
longitude_dd |
yes | The WGS84 latitude of the location in decimal degrees. |
elevation_m |
yes | The elevation of the location in metres. |
sky_view |
no | The sky-view factor (between 0 and 1) at the location. Used to correct for topographic effects (e.g. if the TOPOscale kernel is used). |
slope |
no | The slope of the ground at the location in degrees. Used to correct for topographic effects (e.g. if the TOPOscale kernel is used). |
aspect |
no | The slope of the ground at the location in degrees. Used to correct for topographic effects (e.g. if the TOPOscale kernel is used). |
