Instruments to Describe
These instruments are to be described in using the sensor content standards.
The instruments to be described to satisfy the use cases are the following. The first two instruments are the baseline, and should be described to the entire use case if possible.
The last two instruments are more notional, intended to encourage discussion and consideration. (Although the workshop nominally focuses on in-situ instruments, it will be useful to understand how the standards fare when dealing with more complicated remote sensors.)
