SYD ALL Raw Stream Gauge Data BoM v01

Brief description

## **Abstract**

This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and is presented here as originally supplied. The metadata was not provided by the data supplier and has been compiled by the programme based on known details.



This data has been extracted by the Water Data Support team in the Bureau of Meteorology for selected gauges in the Sydney Basin from Bureau internal systems. Data has been originally supplied to the Bureau by NSW office of Water through the Water Act Regulations, 2008.



The dataset consists of stream gauging data for the Sydney subregion and was provided by the Bureau of Meteorology in January 2015. It includes discharge totals measured in megalitres for 116 gauging stations and instantaneous levels for 126 gauging stations in .csv format, recorded at 9:00am daily, stored in separate folders. Files represent the complete daily record for the station up until 17/12/2014. Filenames correspond to the gauging station numbers (e.g. 210001.csv). It was used to generate the unified streamflow dataset that is used for surface water and groundwater hydrological modelling.



The metadata folder includes the quality codes used for the gauging data as follows:



\\#QUALITY\tTEXT

10\tQuality-A Best Available

11\tBOM derived value

20\tQuality-B Compromised

30\tQuality-C Estimate

31\tEstimate : AWRIS derived data

40\tThe record set has intermittent timing and should not be analysed at a timing resolution\\160 less than that supplied.

150\tQuality-E Unknown

151\tBOM Edited - The record set's ability to truly represent the monitored parameter is not known.

200\tQuality-F Missing or not of release quality

201\tBOM edited - The record set is not of release quality or contains missing data.

## **Dataset History**

The dataset was initially created by the BoM in 15 January 2015. This data has been extracted by the Water Data Support team in the Bureau of Meteorology for selected gauges in the Sydney Basin from Bureau internal systems. Data has been originally supplied to the Bureau by NSW office of Water through the Water Act Regulations, 2008.



It was used to generate the unified streamflow data in 28 January 2015.



Data is supplied in CSV format



The following table describes the quality codes for the data
