USGS_CAWSC R Documentation
USGS CAWSC water quality data
Description
Discrete water quality data from the USGS California Water Science Center
Usage
USGS_CAWSC
Format
a tibble with 16,751 rows and 19 variables
- Source
Name of the source dataset.
- Station
Station where sample was collected.
- Latitude
Latitude in decimal degrees.
- Longitude
Longitude in decimal degrees.
- Date
Date sample was collected.
- Datetime
Date and time sample was collected.
- Chlorophyll_Sign
Whether the Chlorophyll value is estimated (extrapolated at low end) or reported as measured.
- Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll concentration (\mug L-1).
- DissAmmonia_Sign
Whether the Dissolved Ammonia value is lower than reported ("<" because it is below the reporting limit and the reporting limit is used as the value), estimated "~", or reported as the measured value "=".
- DissAmmonia
Dissolved Ammonia (mg/L). If DissAmmonia_Sign is <, this is equal to the reporting limit, NA = RL unknown.
- DissNitrateNitrite_Sign
Whether the Dissolved Nitrate Nitrite value is lower than reported ("<" because it is below the reporting limit and the reporting limit is used as the value), estimated "~", or reported as the measured value "=".
- DissNitrateNitrite
Dissolved Nitrate and Nitrite (mg/L)
- DOC
Dissolved Organic Carbon (mg/L)
- DissOrthophos_Sign
Whether the Dissolved Orthophosphate value is lower than reported ("<" because it is below the reporting limit and the reporting limit is used as the value), estimated "~", or reported as the measured value "=".
- DissOrthophos
Dissolved Ortho-phosphate (mg/L)
- DissolvedOxygen
Dissolved oxygen (mg/L) at surface.
- pH
pH (dimensionless) at surface.
- Temperature
Temperature (°C) at surface.
- Conductivity
Specific conductance (\muS cm-1) at surface.
