Last Modified: 2018-08-15 23:42

A combined dataset of NOAA weather reports, USGS flow rates for the Sn Diego River and NOAA tide levels for La Jolla.

Documentation

Combined Water Project Datasets

This package combines three other datasets for use in the water quality data ptoject:

* waterservices.usgs.gov-stream_discharge-fashion_valley_sd
* tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov-water_levels-la_jolla#water_levels
* noaa.gov-localclimate-200808_201807-san#lcd-san

The resulting dataset has daily values for rainfall, flow rate for the San Diego river, and the max and min tide level at La Jolla.

See the EDA Notebook for details of the structure of the data, in particular, the time coverage in the Nulls section.
