upstream. Occasional high tides will submerge the pool where the water
temperature and specific conductance probes are located and may cause high
specific conductance values. Telephone stage and water-quality telemeter at station.

the museum is provided for informational purposes only. The location of the
station does not meet the strict installation requirements for weather stations
established by the National Weather Service.
