Observation Instance – Django REST framework

Get a list of Observation objects.

### Available end points:

- `/observations/` - Will list all Results in the database
- `/observations.json` - Will return all Results in json format. This can
also be achieved by using the accept header. `application/json`
- `/observations/<object_id>/` - Returns Results object with that id

### Available Methods:

- `GET`
- `HEAD`

### Available filters:

- `title`
- `uuid`
- `keywords`
- `status`
- `result_field`
- `discoveryKeywords`
- `updateFrequency`
- `nonGeographicFlag`
- `publicationState`
- `permissions`

### How to use filters:

These filters can be used like django query filters using __ for related model relationships.

- `/observations/?uuid=d594d53df2612bbd89c2e0e770b5c1a0`
- `/observations/?status=completed`
- `/observations/?results_field__dataPath__startswith=/neodc/esacci`
- `/observations/?discoveryKeywords__name=ESACCI`
- `/observations/?nonGeographicFlag=True`

Filters can be stacked to build an 'AND' relationship. E.g.

- `/observations/?publicationState__in=published,citable&nonGeographicFlag=True`
- `/observations/?publicationState__in=published,citable&discoveryKeyword__name=NDGO0003`

The data is provided as monthly 0.5 x 0.5 degree, and daily 0.1x0.1 degree, longitude-latitude averages containing fractional cloud coverage (the percentage of each grid cell covered by cloud), cloud-top height, cloud optical depth, effective radius and liquid/ice water paths, along with uncertainties for each parameter.\r\n\r\nThis dataset is a continuation of the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative version 3.0 cloud product (Cloud_cci), produced from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) instruments, supplied to the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). Full details of the dataset, include data-quality and validation information can be found via the C3S Climate Data Store (CDS).",
