Type of Data | Temperature |
Originator | Mendocino County Water Agency |
Description | Hobo temperature probes placed throughout the upper Russian River Basin. Data were provided to KRIS as DTF, text, and Excel files from Dennis Slota at MCWA. Data were trimmed for erroneous data such as when air temperatures when probes were in transit or when stream segments dried up. KRIS staff assimilated all data sets into one large DBase IV table. Slota also provided a site list, including locations for all sites. Using ArcInfo and Slota's site list, KRIS staff produced a GIS coverage of all MCWA monitoring sites. |
