characteristicNames
what's the best way to get a human-readable list of WQP characteristicNames?
- I see
dataRetrieval::pCodeToName
, but it was updated in 2014. - I see https://www.waterqualitydata.us/public_srsnames/?mimeType=json, which is probably the same as
pCodeToName
, is that right? It also appears to be NWIS specific, but there are characteristic names available through WQP that aren't listed here, right? - I see https://www.waterqualitydata.us/services/codes/characteristicname?mimeType=xml, which I expect is more complete, but now I'm confused about why there are two lists - can anybody help me understand?
- is there a dataRetrieval equivalent to the services/codes/characteristicname query?
