Question: I’m a student at the Centre of Geographic Science (COGS) in Nova Scotia, Canada and am conducting a student project using Citlops’ open dataset for exploratory spatial data analysis. To get a better understanding of the dataset I’d be grateful for a quick summary of the following variable names:
nCode
fuValue
sdDepth
Congratulations on your interesting and noble project.
Answer:
fuValue = The observed Forel Ule value by the citizen
nCode = Unique identifier in the database
sdDepth = Secchi disk depth observed by the citizen and entered in the app (not often filled as not everyone carries a Secchi disk with them)
