The metadata was not provided by the data supplier and has been compiled by the programme based on known details at the time of acquisition. This was a special data request performed by Sydney Catchment Authority (SCA) for river levels of selected gauges in the Sydney/Hunter area. These are daily mean with 9.00am to9.00am figures in Metres. For guages supplied to SCA for them to query please see spreadsheet in data folder. Quality codes are also documented in the data folder. Note that total daily stream flow (water course discharge) for the same selected gauges was aquired earlier in the programme and can be found in the following dataset: 'Total Daily Stream flow Sydney Catchment Authority 20141211' GUID = 019128a1-d747-4ac2-842d-c0b30a4f8627 ## **Purpose** Records river level height at selected Sydney Catchment Authority guages ## **Dataset History** The following information is Sydney Catchment Authority Quality Codes Sydney Catchment Authority Bulk Water 15:32:07_27/07/2007 Page 1 Quality Codes Report Quality PrintQual Text 4 Turbidity data +/-5% for an instrument range of 0-10NTU and time correct to +/-4mins or 4 logging periods. 5 Good quality edited data 6 Reasonably good quality edited data 7 Good quality contractor supplied data 8 H Good quality data but standards compromised to meet client requirements 10 Good quality digitized data 11 Good quality record processed pre 1995 and coded either 5 or 6 12 Good quality telemetered data 19 Good quality rating extrapolation 20 Good qual theoretical rating-Standard primary device eg weir 25 V Good quality daily totals derived from logged data 26 $ Good quality daily read records 28 C Good quality cumulative total for daily readings after an unread period 29 U Daily read gauge not read 30 B Below sensor with NO flow conditions 31 Evaporation pan overflowed - nil evap. 35 M Good quality data with fog mist dew or frost 36 S Good quality snow data 39 \ Below instrument threshold 40 E Good quality estimate (correlation or other reliable method) 54 Fair quality turbidity data +/-7.5% of an instrument with range 0-10NTU and time correct to +/-10mins or 10 logging periods 55 F Fair quality edited data 56 F Fair quality data - rain 1:2 exposure/turbidity 0-1000NTU 57 F Fair quality contractor supplied data 58 H Fair quality data but standards compromised to meet customer requirements 60 F Fair quality digitised data 61 F Fair quality record processed pre 1995 and quality coded 55 62 F Fair quality telemetered data 69 \* Fair quality rating extrapolation 70 \* Fair quality theoretical rating derived by two or more means and not substantiated by discharge observations 75 D Fair quality daily totals derived from daily read data 76 D Fair quality daily read record 78 C Fair quality cumulative total for daily readings after an unread period 79 U Fair quality daily read gauge not read 85 M Fair quality data with fog mist dew and frost 86 S Fair quality snow data 90 \* Fair quality estimation (correlation or other method) 104 Poor quality turbidity data +/-10% for an instrument range 0-10NTU and time correct +/-20mins or 20 logging periods 105 P Poor quality edited data 106 P Poor quality data - rain 1:2 exposure/turbidity 0-1000NTU 107 P Poor quality contractor supplied data 108 H Poor quality data - standards compromised to meet client specifications prior to Dec2003 110 P Poor quality digitised data 111 P Poor quality records processed pre 1995 and quality coded 105 112 P Poor quality telemetered data 119 ?
