Data gaps and disparities
Found automatically in the gauge records behind this river, and notes from a reviewer who checked them against other sources. Gauges need at least 26 weeks of daily data to appear on the Flow tab.
Warnings (2)
- warning: gap Rio Lucero Near Arroyo Seco, NM: 2 gaps of 60+ days inside the record (11,021 days in all). Longest: Sep 30, 1915 to Sep 30, 1934 (6,941 days); Sep 30, 1951 to Nov 30, 1962 (4,080 days).
- warning: peak conflict Rio Lucero Near Arroyo Seco, NM: 3 approved USGS daily values exceed that water year's USGS annual peak, in water year 1972 (e.g. 24 cfs on Oct 2, 1971 against a peak of 21). A day's mean cannot exceed the year's peak, so one of the two USGS records is wrong for those years; the daily values are kept.

- flatline Rio Lucero Near Arroyo Seco, NM: 2 runs of 30+ days at exactly the same flow: 7.0 cfs for 31 days from Jan 1, 1913; 6.5 cfs for 31 days from Mar 1, 1913. Usually an estimated period (ice, a broken gauge) rather than measured daily flow.
Values removed (0)
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.
None.
