| WOVOdat PARAMETERS -- draft 9Jan04 | |
| This following worksheets outline the parameters that are currently planned for inclusion in WOVOdat | |
| Worksheet Name | Individual worksheets to follow: |
| Volcano | Volcano characteristics that remain more or less constant |
| Eruption | Eruption and eruptive phase characteristics |
| Seismic | Seismic unrest, mostly catalog data |
| Geodetic | Geodetic changes (including GPS, EDM, tilt, strainmeter, InSAR) |
| Thermal | Thermal changes (including spot measurements, heat flux, thermal images) |
| Hydro | Water well levels, spring discharge, Temp, pH, and chemical analyses of waters |
| Gas | Gas flux, gas ratios, chemical analyses of the gas |
| PotentialFields | Gravity, magnetic, and electrical data |
| Inferred process | Processes suggested by previous workers. These are NOT established facts; just prior interpretations |
| AdditionalTables | Reference, contacts, and a standard instrument table |
| Each worksheet will include: | |
| Attribute | The attribute name as it will appear in the database (see naming convention below) |
| Attribute name | The anticipated data field name (some will be lightly populated) |
| Description | A description of the attribute |
| Format | units or other format information - all numbers expressed as decimals are stored as float in the database. The units here show the format for how data should be entered into the database. |
| Comments | Comments or questions about the attribute |
| Naming Convention ab_cde_fgh | |
| a | Category - seismic (s), deformation (d), gas (g), thermal (t), hydrologic (h), volcano (v), inferred processes (I), potential fields (f), common (c ), junction (j) |
| b | Table type - data (d), station information (s), instrument (i), network (n), bibliographic (b), contact (c ), junction (j) |
| cde | Subcategory, if necessary - gps (gps), tilt (tlt), tremor, (trm), gravity (gra). CO2 flux (co2), etc.. |
| fgh* | Attribute - latitude (lat), end point or final benchmark (fbm), description (desc), etc. |
| Common abbreviations used in the attribute name | |
| sti | start time |
| fti | end time |
| verr | vertical error |
| asize | approximate size (a is used for approximate) |
| nlat | nominal latitude (n is used for nominal) |
| delev | change in elevation (d for delta) |
