Temperature at Specific Depth in Surface Water (DP1.20264.001) Algorithm Updates
September 10, 2025
Temperature at Specific Depth in Surface Water (DP1.20264.001) has been reprocessed using NEON’s new instrument processing pipeline. All current provisional data have been updated, and data for all times and all sites will be updated in the 2026 Data Release (expected to be released in Jan 2026).
Differences between previous and newly published data include:
A final quality flag is now included in the one-minute data.
Quality metrics indicating the use of a suspect sensor calibration (“suspectCalPassQM”, “suspectCalFailQM”, and “suspectCalNAQM” columns) are now populated in the expanded download package. See the variables file included in the download package for full descriptions of these metrics.
Quality metrics (expanded download package) are now reported as decimal values and no longer rounded to the nearest integer.
Slight increase in data coverage for various sites and time periods.
Slight difference in expanded uncertainty due to corrected implementation of existing algorithm.
All code used to generate the data product is open-source and available in the NEONScience/NEON-IS-data-processing Github repository. For questions or more information, please Contact Us and select DP1.20264.001 in the data product dropdown list.
