Element Description

The Granule Localities element is a method for naming a granule's spacial spatial location.

Best Practices

Some examples of Granule Locality include, but are not limited to, "global," "land," and "limb." A "global" granule locality consists of data taken on a global-scale, while a land locality pertains to data taken over land. A "limb" locality refers to data taken from an instrument in limb mode. Providing a Granule Locality is optional, but can be leveraged to place the granule in a location or time based category.

Examples:

"Global"

"Land"

"Ocean"

"Limb"

Element Specification

Granule Localities is an optional element (Cardinality: 0..*)

Model	Element	Type	Constraints	Required?	Cardinality
UMM-G	SpatialExtent/GranuleLocalities	String	N/A	No	0..*

Metadata Validation and QA/QC

All metadata entering the CMR goes through the below process to ensure metadata quality requirements are met. All records undergo CMR validation before entering the system. The process of QA/QC is slightly different for NASA and non-NASA data providers. Non-NASA providers include interagency and international data providers and are referred to as the International Directory Network (IDN).

ARC Priority Matrix

Priority Categorization	Justification
Red = High Priority Finding	Not Applicable
Yellow = Medium Priority Finding	This element is categorized as medium priority when: The Locality value provided is incorrect for the granule.
Blue = Low Priority Finding	This element is categorized as low priority when: A recommendation is made to change the locality value on the basis of consistency.
Green = No Findings/Issues	The element is provided and follows all applicable criteria specified in the best practices section above.

ARC Automated Checks

ARC uses the pyQuARC library for automated metadata checks. Please see the pyQuARC GitHub for more information.

The path where Granule Locality is provided in ISO is optional, however, a Granule Locality is required for all CMR granule metadata (Cardinality: 0..1)

Also provide the codeList value "place" to allow CMR to properly identify and parse out the locality value.
