Warnings (1)
- warning: gap Los Pinos River Near Ortiz, CO: 1 gap of 60+ days inside the record (1,369 days in all). Longest: Jan 1, 1921 to Sep 30, 1924 (1,369 days).
Context (2)
Show 2 notes
- copy disagree Los Pinos River Near Ortiz, CO: The usace_cwms copy agrees on the median but differs by more than 10% on 34% of 6,397 shared days (often provisional vs approved data, or a different daily averaging window). The report takes 57 days from usace_cwms where usgs is missing, so the level can shift there.
- flatline Los Pinos River Near Ortiz, CO: 102 runs of 30+ days at exactly the same flow: 16.0 cfs for 62 days from Dec 1, 1915; 5.0 cfs for 62 days from Dec 1, 1917; 20.0 cfs for 62 days from Dec 1, 1919. Usually an estimated period (ice, a broken gauge) rather than measured daily flow.
Values removed (5)
A reading is removed automatically only when it is impossible (for example, a daily mean above the highest flow USGS recorded that water year). Low and zero flows are never removed: rivers here really do dry up.
