Response Explanation

id: A unique identifier for each data type or measurement. This is useful for referencing or querying specific data points.

name: a descriptive label or title for the measurement or data point. It indicates what the measurement represents (e.g., "Instantaneous temperature at 2m" or "Dew point temperature").

description: A textual description providing more context about the data point.

unit: The unit of measurement for the data, such as "Celcius" for temperature and "W/sqm" for solar radiation.

aggregationType: Defines how the data is summarized or processed. AVG (Average): Represents the average value over a time or spatial domain. MIN (Minimum): Represents the lowest value in the dataset. MAX (Maximum): Represents the highest value in the dataset. SUM: Represents the cumulative total (e.g., total precipitation over a period).
