BOREAS Snow Temperature Profiles: HYD-03 7.3 Data Characteristics 7.3.1 Parameter/Variable HYD03_SNOWTEMP_DATA Column Name ------------------------------ SITE_NAME SUB_SITE DATE_OBS SNOW_HT SNOW_TEMP CRTFCN_CODE REVISION_DATE 7.3.2 Variable Description/Definition HYD03_SNOWTEMP_DATA Column Name Description ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ SITE_NAME The identifier assigned to the site by BOREAS, in the format SSS-TTT-CCCCC, where SSS identifies the portion of the study area: NSA, SSA, REG, TRN, and TTT identifies the cover type for the site, 999 if unknown, and CCCCC is the identifier for site, exactly what it means will vary with site type. SUB_SITE The identifier assigned to the sub-site by BOREAS, in the format GGGGG-IIIII, where GGGGG is the group associated with the sub-site instrument, e.g. HYD06 or STAFF, and IIIII is the identifier for sub-site, often this will refer to an instrument. DATE_OBS The date on which the data were collected. SNOW_HT The height above solid surface at which the snow measurement was taken. SNOW_TEMP The temperature of the snow at the reported snow height. CRTFCN_CODE The BOREAS certification level of the data. Examples are CPI (Checked by PI), CGR (Certified by Group), PRE (Preliminary), and CPI-??? (CPI but questionable). REVISION_DATE The most recent date when the information in the referenced data base table record was revised. 7.3.3 Unit of Measurement HYD03_SNOWTEMP_DATA Column Name Units ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ SITE_NAME [none] SUB_SITE [none] DATE_OBS [DD-MON-YYYY] SNOW_HT [millimeters] SNOW_TEMP [degrees Celsius] CRTFCN_CODE [none] REVISION_DATE [DD-MON-YYYY] 7.3.4 Data Source HYD03_SNOWTEMP_DATA Column Name Data Source ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ SITE_NAME [Assigned by BORIS] SUB_SITE [Assigned by BORIS] DATE_OBS [Supplied by Investigator] SNOW_HT [Supplied by Investigator] SNOW_TEMP [Supplied by Investigator] CRTFCN_CODE [Assigned by BORIS] REVISION_DATE [Assigned by BORIS] 7.3.5 Data Range HYD03_SNOWTEMP_DATA Minimum Maximum Missng Unrel Below Data Data Data Data Data Detect Not Column Name Value Value Value Value Limit Cllctd -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SITE_NAME NSA-9BS-HYD3A SSA-9PR-HYD03 None None None None SUB_SITE HYD03-SHT01 HYD03-SHT06 None None None None DATE_OBS 05-FEB-1994 27-APR-1994 None None None None SNOW_HT 0 1250 None None None None SNOW_TEMP -17.5 0 None None None None CRTFCN_CODE CPI CPI None None None None REVISION_DATE 21-JUL-1995 21-JUL-1995 None None None None -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.4 Sample Data Record SITE_NAME,SUB_SITE,DATE_OBS,SNOW_HT,SNOW_TEMP,CRTFCN_CODE,REVISION_DATE 'SSA-9PR-HYD03','HYD03-SHT01',05-FEB-1994,1250,-16,'CPI',21-JUL-1995 'SSA-9PR-HYD03','HYD03-SHT01',05-FEB-1994,500,-11,'CPI',21-JUL-1995
