REMARKS - BAROMETRIC PRESSURE: Collection, computation, and publication of barometric pressure data do not necessarily conform to standards used by the National Weather Service. Records published in this report are for general scientific use.

WATER-QUALITY RECORDS

PERIOD OF DAILY RECORD -

WATER TEMPERATURE: October 2007 to June 2008, February 2009 to current year.

DISSOLVED OXYGEN: August 2023 to current year.

TURBIDITY: August 2023 to current year.

TOTAL DISSOLVED GAS: March 2017 to current year.

INSTRUMENTATION - Water-quality monitor. Any use of trade, product, or firm names in this publication is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.

REMARKS - TURBIDITY: Data collected using an Aqua-TROLL 600 sonde. Manufacturer's stated Accuracy is the greater of +/- 2 percent or +/- 0.5 Formazin Nephelometric Units (FNU) for 0-4000 FNU. FNU values below 10 are reported to nearest 0.1 FNU. Negative recorded values are reported as 0.0 FNU. Additional parameters collected at this location are available via NWISWeb.
Water-quality data collected at this location provides a representative value of the cross section due to adequate mixing of flow from Green Peter dam tailwater gates 225 ft upstream of probe.
