Attribute name | Description | Units |
|---|---|---|
gauge_id* | Catchment identifier according to FOEN notation. | — |
sensor_id | The same as gauge_id for stations where water chemistry measurements from high-frequency measurements data are available | — |
nawaf_id | Catchment identifier according to NAWA FRACHT notation. | — |
nawat_id | Catchment identifier according to NAWA TREND notation. | — |
isot_id | Catchment identifier according to ISOT notation. | — |
chirp_id | Catchment identifier according to CH-IRP notation. | |
gauge_name* | Gauging station name. | — |
water_body_name* | Water body name. | — |
gauge_easting* | Gauging station easting. | m |
gauge_northing* | Gauging station northing. | m |

gauge_northing_nawat | Monitoring site northing according to NAWA TREND. | m |
area_nawat | Catchment area derived using the NAWA TREND sampling location. | km2 |
foen_nawat_dist | Distance between the gauging station from CAMELS-CH and the NAWA TREND sampling location (0 when both are at the same location). | km |
