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)
