Compute River Load

This process computes daily river loading values from input data which consists of: ((1)) TOC (Total Organic Carbon, mg/l) concentration values based on laboratory samples (in Syke's case coming from the VESLA database) ((2)) Daily discharge values (m3/s) observed by automated stations (in this example a station from River Vantaanjoki, HYDRO database). The process interpolates the TOC lab values into daily data series and then multiplies those with the discharge values to obtain daily loading (kg/day). The Syke interface providing the discharge values provides 500 data lines with a single service request. Thus, the number of input URLs can be more than one for longer time periods. For more details, please ask Syke. Please note that the values of conc. and load may be missing from the first and last lines of the output data. This is due to interpolation of concentration which was carried out between the first and last observations.

Inputs
Id Title Data Type Description
input_toc_urls Input Total Organic Carbon (TOC) string URL to in situ Total Organic Carbon (TOC) data (date, value). If the data is divided into parts, please provide several URLs separated by a comma. All URLs need to start with http(s).
input_discharge_urls Input discharge string URL to the daily discharge data (date, value). If the data is divided into parts, please provide several URLs separated by a comma. All URLs need to start with http(s).
Outputs
Id Title Description
riverload_table riverload_table A table containing daily loading values (date, Q (m3/s), conc. (mg/l), load (kg/d)) in a CSV file. Note that the values of conc. and load may be missing from the first and last lines of data due to interpolation (see description above).
