averageInPrecedingInterval

averageInPrecedingInterval

Value represents the average value over the preceding interval.

averageInSucceedingInterval

averageInSucceedingInterval

Value represents the average value over the following interval.

constantInPrecedingInterval

constantInPrecedingInterval

Value is constant in the preceding interval.

constantInSucceedingInterval

constantInSucceedingInterval

Value is constant in the succeeding interval.

continuous

continuous

A continuous time series indicates the observation result is the value of a property at the indicated instant in time. The points are essentially connected and interpolation may occur between points in order to estimate the value of the property between points. The appropriate time spacing between successive points to minimise interpolation errors is related to rate of change (wrt time) of the property.

discontinuous

discontinuous

The sampling of the property occurs such that it is not possible to regard the series as continuous. The time between samples is too large to classify the measurements as continuous.

instantaneousTotal

instantaneousTotal

Value represents a total attributed to a specific time instant. This is normally generated from an event based measuring device such as a tipping bucket rain gauge.

maximumInPrecedingInterval

maximumInPrecedingInterval

Value represents the maximum value that was measured during the preceding time interval.

maximumInSucceedingInterval

maximumInSucceedingInterval

Value represents the maximum value for the following interval.

minimumInPrecedingInterval

minimumInPrecedingInterval

Value represents the minimum value that was measured during the preceding time interval.

minimumInSucceedingInterval

minimumInSucceedingInterval

Value represents the minimum value for the following interval.

precedingTotal

precedingTotal

Value represents the total of measurements taken within the previous time interval.

succeedingTotal

succeedingTotal

Value represents the average value over the following interval.
