In mlms: Multilevel Monitoring System Data for Wells in the USGS INL Aquifer Monitoring Network

Hydraulic Heads

Description

Dataset of depth-discrete measurements of fluid pressure, fluid temperature, atmospheric pressure, and calculated hydraulic head in the Multilevel Monitoring System (MLMS) wells in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) aquifer-monitoring network, Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Idaho.

Usage

heads

Format

A data frame with the following variables:

site_nm

Local site name for an MLMS well.

port_nu

Identifier for the valved measurement port.

site_no

USGS site identification number.

stime_dt

Start time for field visit.

press_dt

Time at which measurements were measured outside the multiport casing.

temp_va

Fluid temperature measured inside the multiport casing from the bridge of the pressure transducer, in degree Celsius.

baro_va

Atmospheric pressure measured at the time of the port measurement, in pounds per square inch absolute (psi).

press_va

Absolute pressure of fluid measured outside the multiport casing, in psi.

press_head_va

Pressure head outside the multiport casing, in feet.

total_head_va

Hydraulic head outside the multiport casing, in feet above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).

press_in_1_va

Fluid pressure measured inside the multiport casing before the outside pressure measurement was taken, in psi.

press_in_2_va

Fluid pressure measured inside the multiport casing after the outside pressure measurement was taken, in psi.

press_in_diff_va

Difference in the fluid pressure measurements taken inside the multiport casing, in psi.

replicate_fl

Whether the measurement is a replicate for quality-control purposes.

comment_tx

Comments.
