Restriction over temporal properties of profiles.

Restriction parameter: year

Definition

Restrict year of profiles.

This parameter allows you to restrict profiles sampled on a single, or a list of given years. The parameter value is one or a coma separated list of numerical value(s) higher than 0 and lower than 9999.

Examples

The following example select only profiles sampled in 2006:

?get=n&year=2006

while the following example select profiles sampled in 2006, 2007 and 2009:

?get=n&year=2006,2007,2009

Thus you can note that years can be any and possibly not sorted.

Restriction parameter: yearmin, yearmax

Definition

Restrict profiles sampled before and/or after a given year (included).

This parameter allows you to restrict profiles sampled before (yearmax) and/or after (yearmin) a given year. The parameter value is a numerical value higher than 0 and lower than 9999.

These restrictions cannot be applied with the other restriction parameter year.

Examples

The following example select profiles sampled before 2002 included:

?get=n&yearmax=2002

The following example select profiles sampled after 2007 included:

?get=n&yearmin=2007

And the following example select profiles sampled between 2001 and 2003 included:

?get=n&yearmin=2001&yearmax=2003

Then, you can note that:

?get=n&yearmin=2007&yearmax=2007

Apply the equivalent restriction than:

?get=n&year=2007

Restriction parameter: month

Definition

Restrict month of profiles.

This parameter allows you to restrict profiles sampled on a single, or a list of given month(s). The parameter value is one or a coma separated list of numerical value(s) higher or equal to 1 and lower or equal to 12. The month convention is a standard one: January is 1, February is 2, ... December is 12.

Examples

The following example select only profiles sampled in March (month number 3):

?get=n&month=3

while the following example select profiles sampled in the boreal winter (December/January/February):

?get=n&month=12,1,2

Thus you can note that months can be any and possibly not sorted.

Restriction parameters: monthmin, monthmax

Definition

Restrict profiles sampled before and/or after a given month (included).

This parameter allows you to restrict profiles sampled before (monthmax) and/or after (monthmin) a given month. The parameter value is higher or equal to 1 and lower or equal to 12. The month convention is a standard one: January is 1, February is 2, ... December is 12.

These restrictions cannot be applied with the other restriction parameter month.

At this time, these parameters are not circular, so that the restriction chain: monthmin=12&monthmax=2 will through an error and not select December to February profiles. To do so, you need to use a coma separated list of months using the month restriction parameter.

Examples

The following example select profiles sampled before June included:

?get=n&monthmax=6

The following example select profiles sampled after September included:

?get=n&monthmin=9

And the following example select profiles sampled between April and June included:

?get=n&monthmin=4&monthmax=6

Then, you can note that:

?get=n&monthmin=4&monthmax=4

Apply the equivalent restriction than:

?get=n&month=4

Restriction parameter: lr

Definition

Restrict profiles sampled between today and some days ago.

This restriction allows you to impose the last report (hence lr) date in days. The parameter value is a numerical value in days between 1 (profiles sampled yesterday) and 60 (profiles sampled over the last 60 days).

This restriction allows a simple selection of the so-called 'active' floats, ie those which reported a profiles over the last 30 days.

Examples

The following example select profiles sampled over the last week:

?get=n&lr=7

The following example select profiles from active floats (sampled over the last 30 days):

?get=n&lr=30

Restriction parameters: from, to

Definition

Restrict profiles sampled before and/or after a given explicit date.

Those restriction allows you to select profiles sample before (to) and/or after (from) an explicit date (included). The date is specified following the format: YYYYMMDD, ie the year, month and day numbers.

Examples

The following example select profiles sampled before November, 2005 the 29th, included:

?get=n&to=20051129

The following example select profiles sampled after February, 2009 the 12nd, included:

?get=n&from=20090212

And the following example select profiles sampled between November, 2005 the 29th and February, 2009 the 12nd, included:

?get=n&from=20051129&to=20090212
