USGS Collector and Water ML does not return all available obs #81

Closed DanRamage closed 7 years ago

DanRamage commented 7 years ago

Here's the sample query I'm using.

usgs_rest = UsgsRest()
usgs_rest.filter(features=['021720709'], start='2013-07-09 00:00:00', end='2013-07-10 00:00:00')
results = usgs_rest.collect()

This station has salinity available, however the USGS collector does not return it. If I do a REST query with json as the return format, the salinity data is available. I'm not sure if this is by design or a bug, but wanted to point it out. Examining the raw returned data, it looks like Salinity is marked as a derived value and no values returned.

Going to close this issue. I think while the website for a particular site would show salinity, the web services do not output salinity as it is a calculated value from the specific conductivity.
