Generally lat/long is calculated from the Google Maps API with a datum of WGS84 (https://developers.google.com/maps), unless a plausible user-defined lat/long was submitted. Information about the datum and source of the lat/long value can be found in the "Site" ancillary data file. |
| 70 | Longitude | The longitude of the site at which the series was recorded. Generally lat/long is calculated from the Google Maps API with a datum of WGS84 (https://developers.google.com/maps), unless a plausible user-defined lat/long was submitted.

A value of "0" indicates only one observer contributed records, and a value of "1" indicates more than one observer contributed records. Multiple observers can contribute observations at a shared group site (http://www.usanpn.org/nn/groups/shared-site). |
| 400 | Multiple_FirstY | Indicates whether there are multiple series for the phenophase on the organism within the selected time period. A value of "0" indicates there is only one series, and a value of "1" indicates there are more than one series within the selected time period. When the selected time period consists of more than one year, calculation of multiple series is separate for each 12-month time span starting from the selected start date. Note that the first "yes" record for a 12-month time span during the selected time period might not be preceded by a "no" record, but the first "yes" for subsequent series within the same 12-month time span is always separated from the previous series by at least one "no" record. |
