Chesapeake Bay Program long-term tidal monitoring stations
stationMasterListA data frame with 145 rows and 19 variables:
Water quality station code
State location
As identified in the state trend reports, whether this station is in the mainstem or tributary monitoring
Location as identified in the CBP CIMS database
From the CBP CIMS database, and verified in a GIS map
From the CBP CIMS database, and verified in a GIS map
Match to CB 92 Segmentation scheme (for 303d list)
Manual match to a USGS fall-line monitoring station (See usgsGages$siteName)
USGS station code (See usgsGages$siteNumber)
Identifies how the USGS-to-TribStation match was made. Direct: If the station falls within a tributary with a USGS station, or in the mainstem. Indirect: If the station is in a small sub-tributary of one of the major tributaries. The USGS station may not be that representative, but it is better than matching to the Susquehanna. SusDefault: If there was no clear match, the tidal station was matched to the Susquehanna River.
