Using STAC timestamps¶
STAC items carry timestamps on the items themselves. When you pull assets from a STAC browser the CB copies those timestamps onto the resulting datasets.
- On the AGB layer card, select + Add dataset → From service → PRR.
- Find the AGB collection. Note that each item has a date stamp.
- Add all five AGB assets to the layer.
- Back on the layer card you should now see seven datasets — the two you added manually in the previous exercise plus the five from STAC. Delete the two manual ones since they are now duplicates.
- Optionally inspect the JSON. Notice that the timestamps have been copied into the config, not linked. The GE does not re-fetch the STAC catalogue at runtime, so if the STAC catalogue owner corrects a timestamp later you would need to re-add the asset (or edit the timestamp by hand) to pick up the correction.
