KRIS Mattole River: Meta Information Page
This page contains detailed information about a data set in KRIS, including where the original data reside and how to contact the sources for the data. Data sets are linked to the appropriate page by means of the Meta Identifier. Many data sets can be linked to same page by sharing the same Meta Identifier.

Data Set Name | sedsum_pl.dbf, sedtemp_pl.dbf |
Date of Content Start | 5/1/91 |
Date of Content End | 11/1/96 |
Maint. and Update Freq. | unknown |
Purpose | To describe streambed conditions and monitor trends in PALCO streams |
Data Quality Information | PALCO HCP does not specify whether samples were collected using McNeil's or a shovel. It is also unclear if stilling wells, which prevent loss of fines, were used with shovel samples. Choice of 4.7 mm vs. 6.4 mm underestimates sand-sized particles. |
Use Constraints | Bulk gravel samples are subject to several significant sampling issues, and none of this issues or the exact protocol are available. See critique by R. Klein. |
Supplemental Information | Includes road density values of unknown derivation. Sediment data collected by Winzler and Kelly (1980-81), CDFG (1991-1994), and PALCO (1994-1996) |
