US:station:::USGS WDFN Parameter codes as table

Parameter codes are 5-digit codes and associated descriptions used to identify the constituent measured and the units of measure. Some parameter code definitions include information about the sampling matrix, fraction, and methods used to measure the constituent. Some parameters are fixed-value (fxd) numeric codes having textual meaning (for example: parameter code 00041 is a weather code parameter, code of 60 means rain), but more commonly represent a numeric value for chemical, physical, or biological data.

Parameters:

  • geometry – The geometry parameter is used to filter the results by a specific geographic area. The value should be a GeoJSON geometry object.

  • id – Parameter code.

  • parameter_name – Parameter short name.

  • unit_of_measure – Parameter reporting units defined to cooperate with descriptions by USEPA.

  • parameter_group_code – Categorical groupings of parameters by water-quality data type for display and report ordering

  • parameter_description – Parameter description.

  • medium – Parameter medium.

  • statistical_basis – Parameter statistical basis.

  • time_basis – Parameter time basis.

  • weight_basis – Parameter weight basis.

  • particle_size_basis – Parameter particle-size basis.

  • sample_fraction – Parameter fraction.

  • temperature_basis – Parameter temperature basis.

  • epa_equivalence – Indicates the relationship of the USGS parameter code to the EPA code.
