| Entry | Definition |
|---|---|
| image | meaningful numerical representation of a physical parameter that is not the actual value of the physical parameter |
| thematicClassification | code value with no quantitative meaning, used to represent a physical quantity |
| physicalMeasurement | value in physical units of the quantity being measured |
| auxillaryInformation | data, usually a physical measurement, used to support the calculation of the primary physicalMeasurement coverages in the dataset (e.g. grid of aerosol optical thickness used in the calculation of a sea surface temperature product). |
| qualityInformation | data used to characterize the quality of the physicalMeasurement coverages in the dataset. Typically included in a gmi:QE_CoverageResult. |
| referenceInformation | reference information used to support the calculation or use of the physicalMeasurement coverages in the dataset (e.g. grids of latitude/longitude used to geolocate the physical measurements). |
| modelResult | resources with values that are calculated using a model rather than being observed or calculated from observations. |
| coordinate | data used to provide coordinate axis values |
