NSL temperature data incorrect units
Closed this issue · 5 comments
NSL station is listed as deg_f but according to the download meta data it is in degree Celsius. Please correct
Also perhaps there should be a way to check station database against downloaded meta data to warn.
Another example where this may be a case of topping off with CDEC which has different units than those of the source

I am unable to see the issue. In the formatted directory, I'm seeing cdec temperatures listed as deg F and other sources as deg C. The data are separate, but individually I think they are OK. Maybe missing something?
By the time the data screened, units are supposed to be standardized. cdec is regarded as a provisional addition to ncro or des data and they are listed as the source with a small caveat in the metadata. There should no longer be any deg F in screened and at least tenatively I'm not seeing any.
Other potential confusion is that there is nsl temperature Dave's gauge) and nsl2 (DISE/DES). Normally I would defer to the one that is not a flow station.
The example for this was glc. The link broke because the continous_station_repo_beta does not have "formatted" subdir but "formatted_1yr". See the link below

misunderstanding on how formatted works. Will only use screened data from now on
