      The DMI Open Data API provides access to four core public services -
      meteorological observations (metObs), climate data (climateData), ocean
      observations (oceanObs), and lightning data (lightningData) - via OGC API
      compatible feature collections. Each service requires a per-service API
      key obtained through the DMI Open Data portal.
