Waterbase - TCM: FluxStations

Data Table

This page was archived on 26 Jun 2015 with reason: Other (New version data-and-maps/data/waterbase-transitional-coastal-and-marine-waters-11 was published)

The FluxStations table contains the physical characteristics of the Eionet-Water transitional, coastal and marine water stations used to monitor riverine input loads, provided by national sources or Marine Conventions. Each station has been assigned a unique Waterbase identifier (WaterbaseID) which can be used to link the FluxStations with their respective Input (load) data.

Table definition

WaterBodyID	Water body ID	national identification code of water body (if applicable) in which station is located. Water body as required/defined by the WFD. A water body may have more than one station in it.	nvarchar(255)	0
WaterBodyName	Water body name	name of water body in which station is located. Water body as required/defined by the WFD. A water body may have more than one station in it.	nvarchar(255)	0
Remarks	Remarks	remarks, comments or explanatory notes.	nvarchar(255)	0
SeaConventionArea	Marine convention area	name of Marine Convention area of which regional sea is a part.	nvarchar(255)	0
SeaRegionName	Sea region name	name of regional sea of which local sea area is a part.	nvarchar(255)	0
WaterbaseName	Waterbase name	national name of station or groundwater body.	nvarchar(255)	0
NationalStationID	National station ID	identifier of the river or lake monitoring stations, the water quantity station, the transitional, coastal or marine flux or montoring station, all unique at the national level. A transitional, coastal or marine station should be a geographically fixed location, an area in which actual sampling locations vary from survey to survey or an area within a defined salinity range within which samples have been taken. Each station is referred to be its single, central location. For transitional, coastal or marine flux stations, the NationalStationID should be the same as that provided for the river flux station.	nvarchar(255)	0
RiverName	River name	national name of river.	nvarchar(255)	0
SeaAreaName	Sea area name	name of the local sea into which the river discharges or in which the TCM station is located. SeaAreaName may be the same as WaterBodyName.	nvarchar(255)	0
WaterbaseID	Waterbase ID	internally produced, unique identifier used to represent the monitoring station for rivers, lakes, transitional, coastal and marine waters, and water quantity, in the format CountryCode_WaterDataSet_NationalStationID (e.g. AT_RV_001), or the groundwater body, in the format CountryCode_WaterDataSet_EWN-Code (e.g. AT_GW_AT001).	nvarchar(255)	-1
Country	Country name	official short name in English. ISO 3166-1.	nvarchar(255)	0
CatchmentName	Catchment name	name of major catchment or basin.	nvarchar(255)	0
Latitude	Latitude	(Y) international geographical co-ordinates in decimal degrees format. Latitude provided using the common geodetic datum ETS89 (rivers, lakes, groundwater, water quantity) or WGS84 (TCM). Where TCM stations represent a broader area, the central location of the area is provided.	float(8)	0
Longitude	Longitude	(X) international geographical co-ordinates in decimal degrees format. Longitude provided using the common geodetic datum ETS89 (rivers, lakes, groundwater, water quantity) or WGS84 (TCM). Negative values used for co-ordinates west of the Greenwich Meridian (0 degrees). Where TCM stations represent a broader area, the central location of the area is provided.	float(8)	0
CountryCode	Country code	abbreviation of EEA Member or Collaborating country. ISO 3166-alpha-2 code elements.	varchar(2)	0
DataSource	Data source	source of data: Eionet-Water, ICES.	varchar(50)	0
WaterDataSet	Water data set	RV=rivers, LK=lakes, GW=groundwater, TCM=transitional, coastal or marine waters, QA=water quantity.	varchar(3)	0
