Hi,
I am using code for inserting Slovenian Meteorological Stations (Timo: Example #4 (create stations).ipynb).
Everything works except I CANNOT write Supervising organization ARSO with current Python code?
I have the following questions:
1.) Do I need to map Supervising organization with a WMO codes registry (which?) ?
2.) Can this be done with a bulk SQL change from OSCAR team?
Can you suggest me the best solution?
Thank you for your additional clarifications and help,
Vesna
Dear Vesna,
you can add a new organization manually through the web interface when going to the "register new station", then "add supervising organization". Select new organization. (you can then skip creating the new station).
In the XML you can refer to the organization by its abbreviation or full name.
To do the batch change through the API (I understand you want to add an additional as opposed to replacing), I would download the XML of the existing stations, insert a new XML fragment for the supervising organization with a suitable "date from" and upload again. Remember to keep the old supervising organization fragment in place, as you are adding a new one. You may set the "date to" of this one to indicate that this organization is no longer affiliated.
If you are replacing the organization then update the values in the existing fragment as needed.
with kind regards,
Timo
