Hourly Maximum Instantaneous flows Flow volume in megalitres reported at hourly intervals
Instantaneous Rainfall Total rainfall in millimetres reported at hourly intervals
LogPearson Log Pearson Type 111 analysis which can be used to estimate the magnitude of events such as the 100 year flood. For more information - refer to: Log-Pearson analysis, as described in Australian Rainfall and Runoff Volume 1 (Revised Edition 1987), Section 10.5.
MonthlyYearToDate A monthly summary report of flow volumes in megalitres.

Quality Code A number which represents the quality of the data that it applies to.
Rating table A table unique to each site which is used to determine flow from water level.
Site A location where a water monitoring program has been implemented.
Telemetry data Data that has been collected from the logger in the field but is unverified
Variable Code A number which represents anything that is monitored such as rainfall, water level, flow or water quality determinants.
