The Romanian Stations Dataset and their Main Meteorological Observations

The dataset contains information about Romanian meteorological and pluviometric stations and provides access to the main meteorological observations at the level of each monitoring station or at the level of different networks formed by certain stations. The main meteorological observations are grouped in the following products created, owned and maintained by the National Meteorological Administration of Romania: - M101 (SYNOP): Total precipitations, relative humidity, temperature, wind speed and direction as synoptic data from essential meteorological stations - M201 (CLIMAT): Total precipitations and the daily minimum, maximum and average temperature as climatic data from essential meteorological stations - M301 (AEROS): The temperature, dew-point temperature, wind direction and wind speed along a trajectory of an air balloon launched daily. - M401 (PRECIP): Gridded data with daily 24 hours accumulated precipitations - M402 (ZAPAD): Gridded data with snow depth - M403 (ECHIV): Gridded data with snow water equivalent - M501 (SOLAR): Gridded data with annual global solar radiation as an average from past 10 years - M502 (EOLIAN): Gridded data with the average wind speed over past 10 years - M650 (WRF): Gridded data with forecasted temperature, relative humidity, v-component of wind, u-component of wind and total precipitation using WRF numerical model - M900 (UMIDS): Gridded data with available water capacity for winter wheat and maize crops All meteorological stations within the dataset are the official Romanian meteorological stations and are registered in the World Meteorological Organization Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS). The dataset was created within the 2019-2020 INSPIRE Project implemented by Essensys Software SRL (Romania) and Wetransform GmbH (Germany) in order to fulfill the legal obligations of the National Meteorological Administration of Romania according to INSPIRE Directive. The scope of the project to create an INSPIRE fully compliant dataset and services was achieved: - For the metadata files made according to the Metadata TG version 2.0 the following conformance classes are ensured: - Conformance class 2: INSPIRE data sets and data set series interoperability metadata (for the metadata of the data set). - Conformance class 4: INSPIRE Network Services metadata (for the metadata of the view service and for the metadata of the download service). - For the metadata files made according to the Metadata TG version 1.3 (deprecated since December 2019) the following conformance classes are ensured: - Metadata (TG version 1.3): Conformance Class: INSPIRE Profile based on EN ISO 19115 and EN ISO 19119 - Metadata (TG version 1.3): Conformance Class: Metadata for Interoperability - Conformance Class: XML encoding of ISO 19115/19119 metadata - The WMS view service is passing the Conformance Class: View Service - WMS - The WFS download service is passing the Conformance Class: Download Service - Direct WFS - Meteorological and pluviometric stations were encoded according to version 3.0 of the INSPIRE Data Specification on Environmental Monitoring Facilities – Technical Guidelines. - Meteorological observations were encoded according to version 3.0 of the INSPIRE Data Specification on Atmospheric Conditions and Meteorological Geographical Features – Technical Guidelines. - Linkage between the meteorological and pluviometric stations and the meteorological observations was encoded according to version 3.0 of the Guidelines for the use of Observations and Measurements and Sensor Web Enablement-related standards in INSPIRE. All GML files provided as results of the GetFeature requests are passing all Conformance Classes for the interoperable data sets in GML (Geuidelines for the Encoding of Spatial Data version 3.3) The following issues were reported for the ETF validator as are affecting the results providing pseudo-errors (some may be already fixed in production): - https://github.com/inspire-eu-validation/community/issues/188 - https://github.com/inspire-eu-validation/community/issues/206 - https://github.com/inspire-eu-validation/community/issues/208 - https://github.com/inspire-eu-validation/community/issues/209 - https://github.com/inspire-eu-validation/community/issues/214 The following erors were reported for the Linkage checker: - https://ies-svn.jrc.ec.europa.eu/issues/3816 - https://ies-svn.jrc.ec.europa.eu/issues/3818 - https://ies-svn.jrc.ec.europa.eu/issues/3817 Because of the last error in the linkage checker, two sets of metadata were prepared (with same UUIDs): - For version 1.3 of the Metadata TG: - https://inspire-staging.meteoromania.ro/WIGOS/MD-DS - https://inspire-staging.meteoromania.ro/WIGOS/MD-WMS - https://inspire-staging.meteoromania.ro/WIGOS/MD-WFS - For version 2.0 of the Metadata TG: - https://inspire-staging.meteoromania.ro/WIGOS/MD-DS - https://inspire-staging.meteoromania.ro/WIGOS/MD-WMS - https://inspire-staging.meteoromania.ro/WIGOS/MD-WFS As a consequence, two WMS and two WFS services exists, one for each version of the metadata.

Statement
The position of the meteorological stations is GPS determined, while the position of pluviometric stations is quite inaccurate. The main meteorological observations that are grouped in the products are served together in the same dataset. Each gridded data and the data from the air balloon has its own network of stations and the observation (result) is a file (tif, netCDF, bufr, grib) linked to that specific network. Synoptic and climatic data is delivered at the station level, namely observations are delivered for each essential station. The process of the creation of each product or observation is described in its corresponding xml process file. For example, the process that correspond to the product M502 is located at https://inspire-staging.meteoromania.ro/process/P502.xml Observed properties, processes and features of interest are described in xml files according to version 3.0 of the D2.8.III.13-14 - Data Specification on Atmospheric Conditions and Meteorological Geographical Features (https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/id/document/tg/ac) The data is encoded according to version 3.0 of the D2.8.II/III.7 – Data Specification on Environmental Monitoring Facility. The dataset was created within the 2019-2020 INSPIRE Project implemented by Essensys Software SRL (Romania) and Wetransform GmbH (Germany).
