Time period for requested data. Time stamps are in IOOS-DIF format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ and in GMT. For HTTP/GET requests, the begin time and end time are specified as eventTime=beginTime/endTime. For HTTP/POST requests, they are specified in an <sos:eventTime> element block.

If no eventTime is specified, the latest available record is retrieved.
