Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
For USGS-defined attributes:
Site_ID = An 8 to 14-digit downstream order number for surface-water sites is usually used for the Site ID. When downstream order is used, the first 8 to 14 positions of the field must contain digits. The remaining positions are blank. A Site ID containing a latitude-longitude and sequence number may be assigned to sites where there is difficulty in assigning a meaningful downstream order number, or where data are obtained intermittently. In this case, positions 1-6 are coded with latitude, 7-13 are coded with longitude, and 14-15 are coded with a sequence number. A 15-digit Site ID for a surface-water site most likely indicates a water-quality grab sample site, a surface-water site at which miscellaneous measurements were made, or a site with large open areas like a lake, reservoir, or bay.
Station_Nm = The station name for surface-water sites is the same as the local number or local identifier. Example of a station name is North Canadian River near Harrah, OK.
Coord_acy = Coordinate accuracy is the accuracy of the latitude and longitude coordinates. For coordinate accuracy:
H = Accurate to +/- .01 second (differentially corrected GPS) 1 = Accurate to +/- .1 second (differentially corrected GPS) 5 = Accurate to +/- .5 second (Precise Positioning Service (PLGR/PPS GPS)) S = Accurate to +/- 1 second R = Accurate to +/- 3 seconds (Standard Positioning Service (SPS GPS)) F = Accurate to +/- 5 seconds T = Accurate to +/- 10 seconds M = Accurate to +/- 1 minute U = Unknown
Alt_acy = Accuracy of the altitude in terms of the possible error in feet. An accuracy of +/- 0.1 foot would be entered as ".1". Many altitudes are interpolated from the contours on topographic maps; accuracies determined in this way are generally entered as one-half of the contour interval.
Inventory_ = Date site was first inventoried in the USGS database.
