Nevada Climate-ecohydrological Assessment Network (NevCAN) Snake Range Quality Controlled Dataset

This dataset utilizes data from the Western Regional Climate Center for the Nevada Climate-ecohydrological Assessment Network (NevCAN) transect in the Snake Range for water years 2012-2022. The list of parameters and other metadata can be found in the README.txt.

This data implements 3 levels of quality control, each level can be requested by contacting Anne Heggli. 

• The first level is a maximum and minimum range check and rate of change check using the values in the "QC_L1rangecheck.csv."
• The second level of QC implements dynamic smoothing for predictable errors, such as those caused by diurnal fluctuations during non-storm days, and automatically flags data for manual review. 
• The third level of QC implements manual QC for suspect data, where possible. Some data could not be corrected with any degree of confidence, and the data flag remains "S" as suspect and should not be used in scientific analysis.

Each data point has a quality control (QC) flag for O - observed/original data, E - edited/estimated, and S - suspect/poor quality.
