SOURCES (stations)
As a user I want information about stations:
- I have a list of station numbers, how can I get information
about these stations?
https://frost.met.no/sources/v0.jsonld?ids=SN18700,SN50500,SN100&types=SensorSystem - I want information about which stations that have been
operating in a certain period
https://frost.met.no/sources/v0.jsonld?types=SensorSystem&validtime=1900-01-01/1905-01-01 - Use the TimeSpecification: https://frost.met.no/concepts/index.html#time_specification

https://frost.met.no/sources/v0.jsonld?types=SensorSystem&geometry=POLYGON ((10 60,10 65, 11 65, 10 60)) - Use the geometry specification: https://frost.met.no/concepts/index.html#geometry_specification
- I want stations for a certain country
https://frost.met.no/sources/v0.jsonld?types=SensorSystem&country=SE - I do not know exactly the name of the station, but I want to
find out if there are stations which contains some of this name
https://frost.met.no/sources/v0.jsonld?types=SensorSystem&name=Sval* - I do not need all attributes in the output, how can I get less
output? Specify the fields you need in the output in the "fields"
parameter:
https://frost.met.no/sources/v0.jsonld?types=SensorSystem&country=SE&fields=name,geometry
"Supported fields: name, countyid, countyname, country, wmoidentifier, municipalityname, validto, validfrom, municipalityid, stationholder, countrycode, geometry, level" - I want to know about the stations owned by a certain
stationholder:

ELEMENTS
As a user I want information about weather elements (parameters, variables):
- I want to retrieve all information about some elements: https://frost.met.no/elements/v0.jsonld?ids=air_temperature,surface_air_pressure&lang=en-US
- I only know the name of the old parameter that I used to use
before. What is the new name?
https://frost.met.no/elements/v0.jsonld?oldElementCodes=TAM,TAN,TAX,UU,UUM&lang=en-US - I already have data from another source using the
CF-convention(http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-standard-names/43/build/cf-standard-name-table.html )
standard name and wonder if this is available from
frost.met.no:
https://frost.met.no/elements/v0.jsonld?cfStandardNames=air_pressure_at_sea_level&lang=en-US - I want the information about the element in Norwegian
(nynorsk)
https://frost.met.no/elements/v0.jsonld?cfStandardNames=air_pressure_at_sea_level&lang=nn-NO
Bokmål: https://frost.met.no/elements/v0.jsonld?cfStandardNames=air_pressure_at_sea_level&lang=nb-NO - I do not need all the information in the output, only id, name
and unit:
https://frost.met.no/elements/v0.jsonld?ids=surface_air_pressure,air_temperature,mean(air_temperature P1M)&fields=id,name,unit&lang=en-US
Supported fields: name, cfconvention, description, legacymetnoconvention, id, codetable, unit
OBSERVATIONS
What data can I get? (Find available timeseries)
- I need observations of 10 minutes precipitation. Which stations
observe this element?
https://frost.met.no/observations/availableTimeSeries/v0.jsonld?referencetime=2017-01-01&elements=sum(precipitation_amount PT10M) - I need data from Bergen. What data can I get from this
station?
https://frost.met.no/observations/availableTimeSeries/v0.jsonld?sources=SN50540&referencetime=2017-01-01 - I want to know which stations that have
performancecategory=C
https://frost.met.no/observations/availableTimeSeries/v0.jsonld?referencetime=2017-01-01&performancecategory=C - I need data from the summer 1945, what data for monthly mean air temperature were available back then? https://frost.met.no/observations/availableTimeSeries/v0.jsonld?referencetime=1945-01-01/1950-01-01&elements=mean(air_temperature P1M)
Get the observation data:
- .... and then I want to get data for the two most interesting
stations:
https://frost.met.no/observations/v0.jsonld?referencetime=1945-01-01/1950-01-01&elements=mean(air_temperature P1M)&sources=SN8240,SN7650
- I want data only every third hour:
https://frost.met.no/observations/v0.jsonld?sources=SN18700&referencetime=R6/2017-01-02T00:00:00.000/2017-01-02T00:00:00.000/PT3H&elements=air_temperature
Give me more information about quality flags
I want information about the quality and flag of the observations data:
- I want to know what a certain flag means:
https://frost.met.no/observations/quality/v0.jsonld?flags=70000&lang=no-NO&fields=details,flag,summarized - I want to know about all available QualityCodes (qualitylevels,
the summarized code, and the flag combination of digits)
https://frost.met.no/observations/availableQualityCodes/v0.jsonld?lang=nb-NO
- Only the summarized (qualityLevels that summarize the flag
information:
https://frost.met.no/observations/availableQualityCodes/v0.jsonld?lang=nb-NO&fields=summarized
FREQUENCIES
Rainfall: Intensity - duration - frequency (IDF)
NOTE: Due to technical limitations, updated IDF data (under /frequencies/rainfall/*) are no longer available in this version of Frost (v0). Updated IDF data can for now be retrieved in Frost v1:- Per station metadata (report type = idf)
- Per station intensity values (report type = idf)
- Gridded metadata
- Gridded intensity values
CLIMATE NORMALS
Climate normals are values for a period of 30 years, decided by WMO. Available periods are 1931-1960 and 1961-1990 for some elements and sources on monthly and daily basis.
- What kind of normal values can I get? https://frost.met.no/climatenormals/available/v0.jsonld?
- Which stations have normal values for mean temperature? https://frost.met.no/climatenormals/available/v0.jsonld?elements=mean(air_temperature P1M)
- Which elements and normal periods are available for a certain station? https://frost.met.no/climatenormals/available/v0.jsonld?sources=SN18500
- Which stations do have normal values for the 1931/1960 normal period? https://frost.met.no/climatenormals/available/v0.jsonld?periods=1931/1960
- How can I get the monthly normal values for some stations e.g. mean temperature? https://frost.met.no/climatenormals/v0.jsonld?sources=SN100,SN180&elements=mean(air_temperature P1M)
RECORDS
This endpoint gives the "day record" for some elements (min and max temperature) for every month and every county.
- How can I get the records for all counties in Norway? https://frost.met.no/records/countyExtremes/v0.jsonld
- What is the maximum temperature for Vestfold county?
https://frost.met.no/records/countyExtremes/v0.jsonld?counties=vestfold&elements=*max* - What has been the maximum temperature in Vestfold in January,
July,August.
https://frost.met.no/records/countyExtremes/v0.jsonld?counties=vestfold&elements=*max*&months=1,7,8 - In which municipalities exist records in Vestfold (independent
of element):
https://frost.met.no/records/countyExtremes/v0.jsonld?counties=vestfold&fields=municipality - ... for minimum values:
https://frost.met.no/records/countyExtremes/v0.jsonld?counties=vestfold&elements=*min*&fields=municipality - For which elements do records exist? https://frost.met.no/records/countyExtremes/v0.jsonld?fields=elementid
