solarforecastarbiter.datamodel.
Observation
(name: str, variable: str, interval_value_type: str, interval_length: pandas._libs.tslibs.timedeltas.Timedelta, interval_label: str, site: solarforecastarbiter.datamodel.Site, uncertainty: Optional[float], observation_id: str = '', provider: str = '', extra_parameters: str = '')[source]¶ A class for keeping track of metadata associated with an observation. Units are set according to the variable type.
Parameters: - name (str) – Name of the Observation
- variable (str) – Variable name, e.g. power, GHI. Each allowed variable has an associated pre-defined unit.
- interval_value_type (str) – The type of the data in the observation. Typically interval_mean or instantaneous, but additional types may be defined for events.
- interval_length (pandas.Timedelta) – The length of time between consecutive data points, e.g. 5 minutes, 1 hour.
- interval_label ({'beginning', 'ending', 'instant', 'event'}) – Indicates if a time labels the beginning or the ending of an interval average, indicates an instantaneous value, or indicates an event.
- site (Site) – The site that this Observation was generated for.
- uncertainty (float or None) – A measure of the uncertainty of the observation values. The format will be determined later. None indicates that the uncertainty is unknown for this Observation.
- observation_id (str, optional) – UUID of the observation in the API
- provider (str, optional) – Provider of the Observation information.
- extra_parameters (str, optional) – Any extra parameters for the observation
