b'Metadata standards for MTFeatureTable 1. List of metadata parameters to be collected with time series MT data . Parameter Units Compulsory orExplanationoptionalSite name Character string Compulsory Local name of siteSurvey name Character string Compulsory Name of survey to help with organisation of dataSurvey location Character string Optional Region in which survey is carried outData type Character string Optional Long period/broadband/AMTAcquired by Character string Compulsory Name of agency/institution (s) acquiring the data. This field should allow for more than one name to be listedAUSGRID number Character string System Generated Position of site on national AusGRID gridLatitude Dec. degrees Compulsory Latitude of central box, from data recorder GPS if available or handheld GPS. This is the primary location information to be used in future processingLongitude Dec. degrees Compulsory Longitude of central box, from data recorder GPS if available or handheld GPS. This is the primary location information to be used in future processingGPS projection system Character Compulsory Projection, datum and coordinate system of data recorder GPSLocation method Character Optional Method of measurement of primary location information e.g. data recorder or handheld GPSLatitude (alt) Dec. degrees Optional Latitude of central box, from an alternative method (e.g. handheld GPS device). This may be useful for QA purposesLongitude (alt) Dec. degrees Optional Longitude of central box, from an alternative method (e.g. handheld GPS device). This may be useful for QA purposesGPS projection system (alt) Character Optional Projection, datum and coordinate system info of alternative location dataLocation method (alt) Character Optional Method of measurement of alternative location informationAltitude Metres Optional Elevation above sea level of central boxOperator Character string Optional Name of individual (s) who deployed the siteLocal start time YYYY:MM:DD:HH:MM:SS.SS Compulsory Local start date and time (YYYY:MM:DD:HH:MM:SS) of recordingLocal time zone Integer Compulsory Time zone of recording; number of hours to add to UTC timeUTC start time YYYY:MM:DD:HH:MM:SS.SS Compulsory UTC start date and time (YYYY:MM:DD:HH:MM:SS) of recordingJulian day Integer Optional Julian day of start of recordingData recorder type/model Character string Compulsory Data recorder type/modelMagnetometer type/model Character string Compulsory Magnetometer type/modelElectrode type/model Character string Compulsory Electrode type/modelPower source type/model Character string Compulsory Power source type/modelData confidential True/false Optional Flag indicating if data is confidentialData confidential until Character string Optional Blank or date data to be released from confidentialityNorth reference Compulsory Magnetic or True NorthDeclination Degrees Optional Magnetic declination (can be determined from Lat/Long/date if not recorded)Drift calculation start timetime YYYY:MM:DD:HH:MM:SS.SS Optional Drift calculation start time local or UTC time via watch etcDrift calculation end timetime YYYY:MM:DD:HH:MM:SS.SS Optional Drift calculation end time local or UTC time via watch etcDrift calculation time method YYYY:MM:DD:HH:MM:SS.SS Optional Method of measuring drift start and end time (instrument vs watch etc)Data recorder drift Seconds Optional Old orange boxes required a check with PC clock to see by how much the data recorder local clock drifted(Continued)APRIL 2019 PREVIEW 50'
