Where
| Where | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Satellite | ||
| Landsat 5 TM and 7 ETM+ and 8 OLI | p[0-9][0-9][0-9]r[0-9][0-9][0-9] e.g. p089r079 | USGS World Reference System (WRS2) Landsat Path and Row |
| Sentinel-2 | t55kfp | The tile names as used by ESA. These are roughly based on the US Military Grid Reference System but they seem to have modified it a little. Prefix is always "t" and the next two characters are UTM zone number of the tile and then next letter is the latitude band and the final two letters are the tile id within the zone and latitude band. |
| Mosaics | cnamoi06,msh5508,nsw,pwettropics | Please refer to Mosaic Tables for complete list of names. Mosaics must include multiple images or sources. If single source imagery is used then use the imagery location coding below. Mosaics based on S3 search zones or state/territory or continent or mapsheet (e.g. 250k) or project. Mapsheet or project are prefixed with m or p respectively. Where different versions of boundary layers exist (i.e. IBRA v6.1 and IBRA v7) the 'where' field is appended with the year the layer was defined (i.e cnamoi06 is based on the CMA layer defined in 2006). The state/territory or continent codes are the two or three character abbreviations for the state/territory or continent without a prefix. The list is: nt - qld - nsw - vic - tas - sa - wa - act - aus. The "r" prefix tag is a catchall for any arbitrary region names not covered by the other codes. Project "p" specific "where" components are used for airborne lidar mosaics and listed on Mosaic Tables. Start each mosaic where with x. |
| Other | ||
| Imagery Location ID | [a-z] e.g. perth, uluru, norfolk-island, murray-river, bunger-hills | Use place names of cities or towns or prominent features of the overall location the image was captured. Ensure no spaces by using a "-" to replace the space. |
| AAD Specific | Folder names should use the S3 search zones for the whole of the AAT while filenames should be more specific to locations or stations with subfields for buildings | |
| S3 Search Zones - AAT | 45t73, minr, himi | S3 search zones based on degree wedges and island zones |
| S3 Station Search Zones | mqs1,dvs-12 | S3 search zones based on station search areas (numbers 12 means that the coverage includes zone 1 and 2) |
| Stations (and extended limits) | mqs, dvs, mws, cys, h73, m72 | Add "x" to the end for extended station limits (e.g. mqsx = Macquarie Station Extended limits while mqs = Macquarie Station). h73 = Heard Island and m72 = McDonald Island. |
When
All dates should be expressed in Universal Time (GMT).
| Code | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| yyyymmdd | 19990923 | date by year, month, day (1999 september (09) 23 (UTC)) |

| e[yy][yy] | e9195 | standard epoch between two years(eg. of vegetation change; 1991 to 1995 where the start year is in the range 1990 to 1992 and the end is 1994 to 1996) |
| d[yyyymmdd][yyyymmdd] | d1991032319951014 | range of days (e.g. 1991 march (03) 23 to 1995 october (10) 14. The presence of the 'd' clearly defines how the 16 digits should be interpreted) |
| m[yyyymm][yyyymm] | m199103199510 | range of months (e.g. 1991 march (03) to 1995 october (10). The presence of the 'm' clearly defines how the 12 digits should be broken up) |
| y[yyyy][yyyy] | y19911999 | range of years (span of eight years 1991 to 1999. The presence of the 'y' clearly distinguishes it from a single 8-digit date) |
| n[yyyymmdd] | n20100927 | A nominal date ("This has been previously used for the Landsat-7 SLC-off data. When a nominal image is created by starting with a primary one; and merging in other surrounding dates to fill the gaps; the nominal date of the image is the initial date; given in the filename; while other dates are recorded only in the history.") |
| s[mm][mm] | s0305 | generic season name ("Excludes Antarctic seasons. This is distinct from the use of the 'm' tag for specific seasons. This 's' tag is used for generic seasons; i.e. not tied to a particular year. The given example; s0305; refers to a generic autumn dataset; rather than a specific autumn of a particular year. This is most useful for things like an average over all autumns.") |

| Sentinel-2 | t55kfp | The tile names as used by ESA. These are roughly based on the US Military Grid Reference System but they seem to have modified it a little. Prefix is always "t" and the next two characters are UTM zone number of the tile and then next letter is the latitude band and the final two letters are the tile id within the zone and latitude band. |
| Mosaics | cnamoi06,msh5508,nsw,pwettropics | Please refer to Mosaic Tables for complete list of names. Mosaics must include multiple images or sources. If single source imagery is used then use the imagery location coding below. Mosaics based on S3 search zones or state/territory or continent or mapsheet (e.g. 250k) or project. Mapsheet or project are prefixed with m or p respectively. Where different versions of boundary layers exist (i.e. IBRA v6.1 and IBRA v7) the 'where' field is appended with the year the layer was defined (i.e cnamoi06 is based on the CMA layer defined in 2006). The state/territory or continent codes are the two or three character abbreviations for the state/territory or continent without a prefix. The list is: nt - qld - nsw - vic - tas - sa - wa - act - aus. The "r" prefix tag is a catchall for any arbitrary region names not covered by the other codes. Project "p" specific "where" components are used for airborne lidar mosaics and listed on Mosaic Tables. Start each mosaic where with x. |

Where
| Where | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Satellite | ||
| Landsat 5 TM and 7 ETM+ and 8 OLI | p[0-9][0-9][0-9]r[0-9][0-9][0-9] e.g. p089r079 | USGS World Reference System (WRS2) Landsat Path and Row |
| Sentinel-2 | t55kfp | The tile names as used by ESA. These are roughly based on the US Military Grid Reference System but they seem to have modified it a little. Prefix is always "t" and the next two characters are UTM zone number of the tile and then next letter is the latitude band and the final two letters are the tile id within the zone and latitude band. |
| Mosaics | cnamoi06,msh5508,nsw,pwettropics | Please refer to Mosaic Tables for complete list of names. Mosaics must include multiple images or sources. If single source imagery is used then use the imagery location coding below. Mosaics based on S3 search zones or state/territory or continent or mapsheet (e.g. 250k) or project. Mapsheet or project are prefixed with m or p respectively. Where different versions of boundary layers exist (i.e. IBRA v6.1 and IBRA v7) the 'where' field is appended with the year the layer was defined (i.e cnamoi06 is based on the CMA layer defined in 2006). The state/territory or continent codes are the two or three character abbreviations for the state/territory or continent without a prefix. The list is: nt - qld - nsw - vic - tas - sa - wa - act - aus. The "r" prefix tag is a catchall for any arbitrary region names not covered by the other codes. Project "p" specific "where" components are used for airborne lidar mosaics and listed on Mosaic Tables. Start each mosaic where with x. |
| Other | ||
| Imagery Location ID | [a-z] e.g. perth, uluru, norfolk-island, murray-river, bunger-hills | Use place names of cities or towns or prominent features of the overall location the image was captured. Ensure no spaces by using a "-" to replace the space. |
| AAD Specific | Folder names should use the S3 search zones for the whole of the AAT while filenames should be more specific to locations or stations with subfields for buildings | |
| S3 Search Zones - AAT | 45t73, minr, himi | S3 search zones based on degree wedges and island zones |
| S3 Station Search Zones | mqs1,dvs-12 | S3 search zones based on station search areas (numbers 12 means that the coverage includes zone 1 and 2) |
| Stations (and extended limits) | mqs, dvs, mws, cys, h73, m72 | Add "x" to the end for extended station limits (e.g. mqsx = Macquarie Station Extended limits while mqs = Macquarie Station). h73 = Heard Island and m72 = McDonald Island. |
When
All dates should be expressed in Universal Time (GMT).
| Code | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| yyyymmdd | 19990923 | date by year, month, day (1999 september (09) 23 (UTC)) |
| yyyy | 2005 | single year (not for a single day within the year) |
| yyyymm | 200503 | single month (not for a single day) |
| yyyymmddHHMMSS | 20060810014213 | datetime by year, month, day, hour, minute, second (e.g. 2006 august (08) 10 01:42:13 (UTC)) |
| e[yy][yy] | e9195 | standard epoch between two years(eg. of vegetation change; 1991 to 1995 where the start year is in the range 1990 to 1992 and the end is 1994 to 1996) |
| d[yyyymmdd][yyyymmdd] | d1991032319951014 | range of days (e.g. 1991 march (03) 23 to 1995 october (10) 14. The presence of the 'd' clearly defines how the 16 digits should be interpreted) |
| m[yyyymm][yyyymm] | m199103199510 | range of months (e.g. 1991 march (03) to 1995 october (10). The presence of the 'm' clearly defines how the 12 digits should be broken up) |
| y[yyyy][yyyy] | y19911999 | range of years (span of eight years 1991 to 1999. The presence of the 'y' clearly distinguishes it from a single 8-digit date) |
| n[yyyymmdd] | n20100927 | A nominal date ("This has been previously used for the Landsat-7 SLC-off data. When a nominal image is created by starting with a primary one; and merging in other surrounding dates to fill the gaps; the nominal date of the image is the initial date; given in the filename; while other dates are recorded only in the history.") |
| s[mm][mm] | s0305 | generic season name ("Excludes Antarctic seasons. This is distinct from the use of the 'm' tag for specific seasons. This 's' tag is used for generic seasons; i.e. not tied to a particular year. The given example; s0305; refers to a generic autumn dataset; rather than a specific autumn of a particular year. This is most useful for things like an average over all autumns.") |
