Class SpatialMetRequest

java.lang.Object
  net.agmodel.weatherData.MetRequest
      net.agmodel.weatherData.SpatialMetRequest

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ServerRequest

public class SpatialMetRequest

extends MetRequest

Encapsulates a request for meteorological data from stations in an area.
In general, client applications will only use the constructor.
The remaining methods are primarily for MetBroker's internal use.

Constructor Summary

SpatialMetRequest(Interval dateExtremes, Set requestedElements, MetDuration resolution, GeographicalArea area)
Creates a request for meteorological data from stations in an area, allowing summarising but not interpolation.
See Interpretation of dateExtremes in queries in MetRequest for details of how the dateExtremes parameter is interpreted.

SpatialMetRequest(Interval dateExtremes, Set requestedElements, MetDuration resolution, GeographicalArea area, boolean summarise, boolean interpolate)
Creates a request for meteorological data from stations in an area.

SpatialMetRequest(Interval dateExtremes, Set requestedElements, MetDuration resolution, GeographicalArea area, boolean summarise, boolean interpolate, boolean allOrNothing)

SpatialMetRequest

public SpatialMetRequest(Interval dateExtremes,
                         Set requestedElements,
                         MetDuration resolution,
                         GeographicalArea area,
                         boolean summarise,
                         boolean interpolate,
                         boolean allOrNothing)

Creates a request for meteorological data from stations in an area.
See Interpretation of dateExtremes in queries in MetRequest for details of how the dateExtremes parameter is interpreted.

Parameters:

dateExtremes - the interval for which data is requested

requestedElements - the set of elements requested

resolution - the temporal resolution. See weatherData.MetDuration for some useful constants.

area - to return data from.

summarise - true if you want data from higher resolutions summarised to the target resolution.

interpolate - true if you want MetBroker to find replacement values for missing data by spatial or temporal interpolation.

allOrNothing - true if you only want MetBroker to return data from stations who record all the specified elements.

public SpatialMetRequest(Interval dateExtremes,
                         Set requestedElements,

                         GeographicalArea area,
                         boolean summarise,
                         boolean interpolate)

Creates a request for meteorological data from stations in an area.
Returns data from stations recording any of the elements requested. See Interpretation of dateExtremes in queries in MetRequest for details of how the dateExtremes parameter is interpreted.

Parameters:

dateExtremes - the interval for which data is requested

requestedElements - the set of elements requested

resolution - the temporal resolution. See weatherData.MetDuration for some useful constants.

area - to return data from.

summarise - true if you want data from higher resolutions summarised to the target resolution.

interpolate - true if you want MetBroker to find replacement values for missing data by spatial or temporal interpolation.
