  1. USGS: Flags are:
    A Approved for publication, Processing and review completed or
    P Provisional data subject to revision.

  2. NERR data: multiple flags, QC Flags and QC codes are combined; QC may be combined with 1 or more QC codes.

  • We focused on the QC Flags & Codes below - exclude and include flags/codes are listed below; NA were flags/codes not encountered in the datasets that we looked at so far.

QC Flags

Each parameter in the exported data file contains a flag column. The flag column, F_param, contains a quality control (QC) flag and may contain additional QC codes. In a chart mouse-over, the QAQC flag and any codes are displayed behind the F_param: designation. Refer to the list below for the available QC flags and their descriptions.

QC Flag criteria
-5 Outside high sensor range exclude
-4 Outside low sensor range exclude
-3 Data rejected due to QAQC exclude
-2 Missing data exclude
-1 Optional parameter not collected NA
0 Passed initial QAQC checks include
1 Suspect data include
2 Reserved for future use NA
3 Calculated data: non-vented depth/level sensor correction for changes in barometric pressure NA
4 Historical: Pre-auto QAQC include
5 Corrected data include

Temperature

  • Mean_Annual_Temperature_C : average of all available data
  • Mean_max_temperature_C : average of (maximums for each year)
  • Mean_min_temperature_C : average of (minimums for each year)
  • Temperature_st_dev: SD of all available data (if only daily averages are reported separately from mean/max daily this SD could be biased)
  • Temperature_n: number of datapoints
  • Temperature_years: number of years
    no longer including the following 3:
  • dd_0: number of days where temp fell below 0
  • dd_15: number of days where temp above 15C
  • dd_30: number of days where temp above 30C

Salinity

  • Mean_Annual_Salinity_ppt : average of all available data
  • Salinity_st_dev : SD of all available data (if only daily averages are reported separately from mean/max daily this SD could be biased)
  • Mean_min_Salinity_ppt : average of (minimums for each year)
  • Mean_max_Salinity_ppt : average of (maximums for each year)
  • Salinity_n: number of datapoints
  • Salinity_years: number of years

The following populations from the resequencing project do not have salinity data:

  • NJ_DB_CS_Med_W
  • ME_SR_SM_Low_W
  • NY_LI_LH_High_W
  • NY_LI_CM_High_W
