Managing SC data from HOBOs
Data overview: HOBO (U24-001) SpC sensors deployed on rafts and hanging inside groundwater wells from Spring 2021 through Winter 2022
Point of contact: James Maze (jtmaze@vt.edu)
Column names:
Timestamp: The measurement time in Eastern Time (ET)
Site_ID: Lists the sensor location according to the Delmarva Disco’s Site Directory
Low_range_uScm: Unadjusted conductivity values in microsiemens per centimeter
SpC_low_range: Temperature adjusted specific conductivity values using formula below.
Temp_C: Temperature in degrees celcius
Flag: Designates data quality.
Notes: Explains the nature of flagged data.
Temperature Compensation for Specific Conductance: Uses the following formula
SpC_low_range = Low_range_uScm/(1 - ((25 - Temp_C) * 0.021))
Flagging and QAQC: Characterization of flags is…
0 = data good to use 1 = data useful with caveats 2 = data is unacceptable for most circumstances.
