This section provides you with instructions on adding datasets from the CWMS Database (or CWMS Data API) to an existing data status list.
Filter lists are available to assist you in finding locations quickly. The following is a description of the filter lists that are available:
Location
Physical location where data is collected.
Parameter
Indicates the type of gage, such as precipitation or temperature. There is a hardwired list of parameter IDs in the CWMS database.
Type
Indicates whether the reading is instantaneous, total (cumulative), maximum, minimum, average, or constant.
Interval
Specifies the interval between readings, or how often readings are taken.
Duration
Indicates how long it takes to record a data point; an instantaneous interval requires a duration of zero.
Version
Designates the data stream with which the time series is associated.
Adding CWMS Datasets to a Data Status List
To add datasets from the CWMS Database to a data status list:
Within the Data Status Summary dialog, select Browse CWMS Database from the Edit menu.
The Select Time Series Identifiers dialog will open.
To add datasets, highlight the datasets in the table and click the Select button. The selection will display in the selection box.
When all datasets have been selected, click the Set Selected Identifiers button. The Select Time Series Identifiers dialog will close.
From the Data Status Summary dialog, click Save. A Save window will open. The Save window is asking "do you want to replace the selected data status list?". Click Yes. The Save window will close, and an information window will open. This window lets you know the selected data status list has been saved. Click OK, and the information window will close.
To add data from the CWMS Data API, follow the steps above but select the Browse CWMS Data API option from the Edit menu in Step 1. The rest of the instructions remain the same.
