Final update on water quality chlorophyll measurements assigned incorrect units
September 28, 2023
It was previously reported that chlorophyll-a measurements in the Water quality data product (DP1.20288.001) were being reported in the wrong units starting in late 2021 or early 2022 and ending March 16, 2023 for the ten river and lake sites (BARC, BLWA, CRAM, FLNT, LIRO, PRLA, PRPO, SUGG, TOMB, and TOOK). The issue has been corrected, and all provisional data not included in RELEASE-2023 (collected since July 1, 2022) were updated on the Data Portal today (September 28, 2023). Data that were previously included in RELEASE-2023 (collected prior to July 1, 2022) will be updated on the Data Portal as part of RELEASE-2024 in early January 2024.
