WDG is within the boundaries of the 2018 Mendocino Complex Fire. Processing +---------+ This data has not undergone any processing. CW3E is currently working on a partly automated, partly manual QC process to clean and improve all data as it is downloaded to make it easier for interested scientists and stakeholders to use. This is an ongoing effort and planned updates for precipitation and soil moisture data include the following: - Create automated flagging system for missing timestamps and for values outside of realistic range (e.g., <0). - Continue visual assessment for unrealistic jumps and comparisons between other nearby stream gauges and precipitation observations.
