Presenters will address various issues affecting LDM's workflow. Some of these topics are related to Water Use, the Monitoring Location Registry, and datums. As seen in previous years, time will also be set aside to have an open dialogue amongst the LDMs.
In this training track, students will gain knowledge and understanding of the basic concepts and available tools and techniques that leverage imagery and near-field remote sensing for hydrometry applications. Participants will be introduced to image and Doppler radar velocimetry techniques, camera hardware, and concepts related to software configuration. This training class complements other seminars discussing these topics throughout the rest of the NWDTW.
The USGS maintains a large network of real-time continuous water-quality instruments to assess conditions in surface and groundwater. Throughout the country, there are over 2,500 sites where temperature, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity are monitored and data are publicly available. This refresher presents concepts and procedures for record computation outlined in Techniques and Methods Report Book 1, Section D3 titled "Guidelines and Standard Procedures of Continuous Water-Quality Monitors Station Operation, Record Computation and Data Reporting." USGS Scientists that are involved in the collection and processing of continuous water-quality monitoring data and interested in better understanding continuous water-quality monitoring records computation are encouraged to attend. This is not intended to replace QW2298, but to offer staff an opportunity to get hands-on training and assistance in water-quality records.
The first half of this training will cover the instruments used to collect water level data and field data collection at groundwater sites. The second half will cover groundwater data processing in AQUARIUS Time-Series and highlight workflows and the application of some data corrections and edits.
