• supports only a single image per tiff file
• recognizes -9999 as missing value. Different missing values can be configured in the import module with element <missingValue>
• requires geometry configured in Grids.xml
• expects event time in the name of the tiff file. Otherwise time zero will be used as event time. The datetime pattern needs to be specified in <fileNameObservationDateTimePattern> (see below for an example)
• no idMapping is needed: the files are directly linked to the location and parameter of the configured timeSeriesSetno
• unitConversion is needed: the unit of the parameter is the timeSeriesSet is assumedonly needed when an externUnit (<externUnit parameterId="Mypar1" unit="inch"/> ) is specified

Configuration example

<import>
	<general>
  	 	 <importType>GeoTiff</importType>
	 	 <folder>$REGION_HOME$/Import/grid</folder>
	         <fileNameObservationDateTimePattern>yyyyMMdd'T'HHmm'Z_MSC_Radar-Composite_CMHR_1km'</fileNameObservationDateTimePattern>
         </general>

	<timeSeriesSet>
		<moduleInstanceId>ImportGrid</moduleInstanceId>
		<valueType>grid</valueType>
		<parameterId>MyPar1</parameterId>
		<locationId>LocA</locationId>
		<timeSeriesType>external historical</timeSeriesType>	
		<timeStep unit="nonequidistant"/>
		<readWriteMode>add originals</readWriteMode>
	</timeSeriesSet>
</import>	

add

<externUnit parameterId="Mypar1" unit="inch"/>

grid definition

Presently, the F12 - clipboard function is not able to read the grid geometry from geotif files. Therefore use a program like ArcGIS or QGIS to convert a file to NetCDF or HDF and then use F12 - clipboard to get the correct grid extent.
