The header is used to specify the link to the location
and the contents
Since 2014.01. Properties that are applicable to the events following
Since 2015.01. Defines the domain axis values for the specified parameter
unlimited number of events with a constant timeStep.
The date, time and value attributes are required, the
quality flag is optional. When no events exists the event values are stored in a bin file.
The binary file has the same name as the xml file only the extension is "bin" instead of "xml".
The bin file contains only IEEE 32 bit reals. The length of the bin file is 4 times the number of events for all time series in the file.
The byte order in the bin file is always Intel x86. The bin file is only allowed for equidistant time steps.

Type of data, either accumulative or instantaneous.
For accumulative data the time/date of the event is
the moment at which the data was gathered.
Since 2015.01. Eg. when the parameter is wave variance density spectrum specify the the domain parameter frequency and direction.
Since version 1.4
Further clarification of the time series, when the parameter, location and time step are not enough to
identify a time series.
Multiple qualifiers are allowed, the order of the qualifiers is insignificant.
A different order of the qualifier ids should not map to the an other time series.
Since version 1.4
An ensemble forecast consists of a number of simulations made by making small changes to the
estimate of the current state used to initialize the simulation. These small changes are
designed to reflect the uncertainty in the estimate. Every simulation has it's own ensembleMemberIndex
When specified the ensembleMemberIndex is required
Since version 1.4 An ensemble forecast consists of a number of simulations made by making small changes to the estimate of the current state used to initialize the simulation. These small changes are designed to reflect the uncertainty in the estimate. Every simulation has it's own ensembleMemberIndex. Ensemble id is not required when the ensembleMemberIndex is specified
Since version 1.10 An ensemble forecast consists of a number of simulations made by making small changes to the estimate of the current state used to initialize the simulation. These small changes are designed to reflect the uncertainty in the estimate. Every simulation has it's own ensembleMemberId. Ensemble id is not required when the ensembleMemberId is specified
The timeStep element provides three choices
date/time of the first event
date/time of the last event
Since version 1.5
date/time of the forecast. By default the forecastDate equals the start time
Missing value definition for this TimeSeries. Defaults to NaN if left empty
Optional long (descriptive) name
Station name
Latitude of station
Longitude of station
X coordinate of station
Y coordinate of station
Z coordinate of station. From version 1.16 this optional element is only written when available. In 1.15 and earlier z=0.0 is used when z is not defined
Optional string that identifies the units used
Since 2015.01. Used for spectra and other 1D or 2D variables. e.g. frequency and direction. Additional axis to the time axis

code/description of the region. Needed if the id's
can be the same in different regions.
Since 2015.01. Domain parameter id
Since 2015.01. Unit for domain variable
Since 2015.01. One of the domain axis parameter ids specified in the header
unlimited number of events with a constant timeStep.
Each TimeSeries should contain at least one element (records).
The date, time and value attributes are required, the
quality flag is optional.

rise), ROF (rate of fall), SR (same reading), TS (time shift), SVS (secondary validation series), SVF (secondary validation flags)
