Methodology for obtaining data	This is a required, not null field. WISE-SoE reporting: Required if not reported in WFD. Use the common geodetic datum ETRS89. WGS84 should be used for overseas areas and can be used for TCM data as well. Use negative values for coordinates west of the Greenwich Meridian (0°). Please round the coordinates to 4 - 5 decimal places, depending on your input data precision (0.0001° = about 10 m). Where TCM stations represent a broader area, the central location of the area should be provided.
