KRIS Garcia River: Meta Information Page
This page contains detailed information about a data set in KRIS, including where the original data reside and how to contact the sources for the data. Data sets are linked to the appropriate page by means of the Meta Identifier. Many data sets can be linked to same page by sharing the same Meta Identifier.
| Meta Identifier | MCWA_Temp |
| Type of Data | Temperature data collected with automatic temperature loggers |
| Originator | MCWA |
| Description | Hobo temperature probes placed throughout the lower two-thirds of the Garcia 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, ArcView, and Slota's site list, KRIS staff produced a GIS coverage of all MCWA monitoring sites. |
