Usage

qwMoRivOmaha

format

A data frame containing 115 water-quality samples for eight chemical constituents. There are 20 variables. lll{ staid character USGS Station identification number dates date Date water-quality sample collected times numeric Time sample was collected R04035 character Remark code (blank, _,

source

Data provided by Patrick Phillips, U.S. Geological Survey, New York Water Science Center.

Details

Chemical concentration data are in the columns that start with a P and are followed by a number. Qualification codes for the concentration data are in the columns that start with an R followed by the same numbers as the associated concentration data. For example, column P04035 indicates simazine data, 04035, being the U.S. Geological Survey parameter code for simazine. The qualification codes for the simazine concentrations are found in the column R04035, indicating a U.S. Geological Survey remark code. Remark codes include _ or nothing, indicating no qualification of the value in the associated concentration field;
