Reviewed sample buoy data (here). Here are some findings

Three kinds of DAT files (but, it's in CSV format).

  • xxx_diagnostics.dat
  • xxx_MetData.dat
  • xxx_WQData.dat
    • It looks like containing Nitrate data

We need some metadata for columns for each dataset.

The "Pisces Data"/"Ellis Bay Test data May 23-31" contains some charts in Excel (PiscesCell_WQDAta_5-14_7-8_2013_turb-chloro-DO.xlsx).

Loggernet server

  • Server runs here at NCSA
  • Ted has the admin version to get diagnostics about sensors
  • Measuring water quality every 60 minutes, and metadata every 15 (wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, barometer, precipitation, hail hits, compass?)
  • Shipped to clients every 60 minutes

 

Marcus Slavenas is working on adding a cron job to the server that will update these in the API.

  • No labels
