KRIS Sheepscot: 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 | NOAA_WQ |
| Type of Data | water quality automated probe |
| Originator | NOAA Fisheries - Maine Field Station |
| Description | The NOAA Fisheries maintains a YSI water quality data logger that collects temperature, pH, and conductivity data in the mainstem of the Sheepscot River just above head of tide (river kilometer 10.35). Data collection began May 31, 2001. Equipment specifications: pH meter (first Orion 290A, then YSI XLM 600), pH electrode (first Orion 8256 BN, then YSI XLM 600), and conductivity meter (first Oakton, then YSI XLM 600). |
