Summary

We are planning to make changes to the way parameters are stored in datapoints. Here is how parameters are stored in datapoints now:

"datapoint": {
  ...
  "properties": {
    "temperature": 98,
    "wind-speed": 15,
    "temperature-qc": "P",
    "wind-speed-qc": "A"
  }
}

We are planning to change it to this format:

datapoint: {
  ...
  properties: {
    parameters: [
      {
        id: "temperature",
        value: 98,
        unit: "C",
        unit-description: "Degrees celcius",
        qaqc: "P",
        qaqc-description: "Preliminary"
      },
      {
        id: "wind-speed",
        value: "15",
        unit: "mph",
        unit-description: "Miles per hour",
        qaqc: "A"
        qaqc-description: "Approved"
      }
    ]
  }
}
