Each folder at this level (fumarole_data, spring_data, stream_data, well_data) contains data files in which the filename is structured such that the site name is contained in the characters before the underscore symbol ( _ ) and the type of data is contained after the underscore symbol. Each folder at this level will have subfolders if there is more than one data file associated with that site. For example, under the directory well_data, there is a folder ch10b, which contains several files.

The site name (the characters before the underscore symbol) can be matched up in the excel file called lvc_hydrology_locations.xls, which is in the same directory as this readme.rtf file.

Data types are given after the underscore in the file name and include:

airtp                          air temperature
dis                            discharge, mean daily computed from gage heights
dismeas                    instantaneous discharge measurement by meter
gageh                       gage height with arbitrary datum
tlog                           temperature with depth in wells
tp                              temperature, for water temperature unless otherwise noted
venttp                       temperature of gas discharged from steam vent
wl                             water level in a well given as depth to water below land surface
wq                            chemical analysis of water sample
