Incorrect Depths Associated with Lake and River Temperature Profiles: Update #1
February 25, 2022
This is an update regarding incorrect sensorDepth values at BARC and CRAM for some time ranges in provisional and RELEASE-2022 data for Temperature at specific depth in surface water (DP1.20264.001). The previous post contains information on how to fix the issue in downloaded data.
The sensor_positions files are inconsistent and contain duplicate, incomplete, and/or incorrect information for all lake and river sites (SUGG, BARC, CRAM, LIRO, PRPO, PRLA, TOOK, FLNT, BLWA, and TOMB).
Both issues have been investigated to determine scope and are being prioritized for work to fix with data re-processing. Level 0 data was not impacted and re-processing of the data with correctly assigned depths is possible. The most likely timeline is that the sensor_positions files will be fixed by summer 2022 and the data will be fixed in time for the RELEASE-2023 in January, 2023.
An update will be provided by the end of June, 2022 on the status of implementing fixes and re-processing. Please use the data portal contact form for further inquires: please select DP1.20264.001 in the Data Product dropdown list and include the term "INC0052674" in the body of your request.
