Monthly rollup of discrete and daily-aligned groundwater levels, metadata, and other attributes useful for statistical modeling for the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial aquifer, Mississippi Alluvial Plain, 1980–2019
Monthly rollup of the discrete and daily-aligned groundwater levels were created from Robinson, Asquith, and Seanor (2020) data products with removal of the paired groundwater and surface-water sites listed by Robinson, Killian, and Asquith (2020). The monthly rollup is composed of (1) computed monthly "mean" values regardless of whether a well had one measurement in the month or up to about 30 days of daily-mean values, (2) standard deviation of the water levels within the month (sample size is generally just one day but for recorder sites could be up to about 30 days), (3) the last water level in the month, and (4) monthly counts of water levels. The algorithm is available within the sources of visGWDBmrva (Asquith and others, 2019). A comment is made that the string 1980-01-01_2019-12-31 is retained in the file naming to parallel that for Robinson, Asquith, and Seanor (2020) files although the day of the month has no meaning for a monthly rollup. There are 18,736 unique wells of statistics; 18,736 wells in the metadata; and 107,568 year-month entries in the monthly rollup product. References: Asquith, W.H., Seanor, R.C., McGuire, V.L.
