The 15-minute precipitation data for this station are
temporary and will only be displayed for 120 days. Time
series of 15-minute or cumulative daily values will NOT be available
for retrieval following the 120-day display period. Although the
instrumentation is calibrated at least once/year, the temporary
classification means that documented routine inspections and other
quality assurance measures are not performed that would make the data
acceptable for archival, retrieval, or future use in general
scientific or interpretive studies.
The elevation of this station has been
determined to be 3.80 feet above NAVD 1988. To obtain stream
water-surface elevation values in NAVD 1988, add 3.80 feet to gage
height values.
