If the quality color bar or thumbnail plot for a location indicates that the incoming data is questionable or bad, viewing the data in a plot can help you to determine the nature of the problem.


To access plots of incoming data:

  1. From the Map Window, right-click on a time series icon and from the shortcut menu, select Plot.
  2. A plot window will open, displaying the location's data for the current time window. The figure below shows sample plots for both flow and stage gages. Use the Zoom Tool to zoom in on a specific portion of the plot. See CWMS CAVI Main Window for a more detailed description of the Zoom Tool. In addition, a more detailed description on the plots can be found in Viewing of CWMS Data & Results.
