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 Rito De Los Frijoles In Bandelier Nat Mon, NM: 5 gaps of 60+ days inside the record (6,422 days in all). Longest: Oct 1, 1996 to Jun 27, 2012 (5,749 days); Oct 18, 2013 to May 20, 2014 (215 days); Oct 13, 2015 to Mar 25, 2016 (165 days).
  • warning: peak conflict Rito De Los Frijoles In Bandelier Nat Mon, NM: 3 approved USGS daily values exceed that water year's USGS annual peak, in water year 1985 (e.g. 33 cfs on Apr 29, 1985 against a peak of 29). 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.

Context (2)

Show 2 notes
  • ended Discontinued gauges: 2 gauges have stopped reporting: Rito De L Frijoles Nr Los Alamos, NM (last 1963); Rito De Los Frijoles In Bandelier Nat Mon, NM (last 2016). Their segments rest on fewer gauges after those years.
  • flatline Rito De Los Frijoles In Bandelier Nat Mon, NM: 1 run of 30+ days at exactly the same flow: 1.2 cfs for 51 days from Dec 23, 1985. 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.
