Metadata lists

Lists of networks, stations, sensors or variables in the above surface network. Lists are available as HTML (for web viewing), structured text (fixed width text columns), or CSV.

Construct a request

Use the interface below to create and make an ASN metadata list request. Click the button at the bottom when you have selected the categories you want.

Restrictions you can make (show me only ...)

Restrictions are not required, but are available. For this interface you must select networks before stations before sensors, but this is not the case if you make a manual query.

  1. By Network (show only these networks:)
  2. By Station (show only these stations)
  3. By Sensor (show only these sensors)

Categories which can be included

Request a category (a column in the output) by adding the 3-letter code to the cols argument in the url string, separated by a comma.

Use the check boxes to select variables and either create an example URL query, or just get the data.
