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 a YSI EXO2 sonde. Manufacturer's stated accuracy is the greater of +/- 2 percent of reading or 0.3 Formazin Nephelometric Units (FNU) for 0-999 FNU, and +/- 5 percent for 1,000-4,000 FNU. Prior to December 2015, data was collected using a YSI 6026 turbidity sensor. Manufacturer's stated accuracy is the greater of +/- 5 percent or 2 FNU. FNU values below 10 are reported to nearest 0.1 FNU. Negative recorded values are reported as 0.0 FNU. Chemical analyses collected at this location are available via NWISWeb.
