00:00:02.320 --> 00:00:05.329
In this video, we will walk
through the data download

c34414b8-cf4c-4c7e-b9cf-36aaf21180c4-1
00:00:05.329 --> 00:00:08.561
feature on the CRMS website.
From the home page, you will

c34414b8-cf4c-4c7e-b9cf-36aaf21180c4-2
00:00:08.561 --> 00:00:11.794
select the data icon which
conveniently opens up with the

c34414b8-cf4c-4c7e-b9cf-36aaf21180c4-3
00:00:11.794 --> 00:00:14.970
data download tab already shown.
The data that you'll be

c34414b8-cf4c-4c7e-b9cf-36aaf21180c4-4
00:00:14.970 --> 00:00:18.426
downloading contains derived
values that have been calculated

c34414b8-cf4c-4c7e-b9cf-36aaf21180c4-5
00:00:18.426 --> 00:00:21.881
using raw data, which you can
find here by selecting the CIMS

c34414b8-cf4c-4c7e-b9cf-36aaf21180c4-6
00:00:21.881 --> 00:00:22.160
link.

00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:26.503
And going to the data tab,
selecting any one of these will

a3207309-2c10-4774-89af-2ab7aac255ef-1
00:00:26.503 --> 00:00:30.623
open up a window like this where
you would enter in the specifics

a3207309-2c10-4774-89af-2ab7aac255ef-2
00:00:30.623 --> 00:00:33.370
of your area of interest and
then download.

00:00:34.340 --> 00:00:38.160
Now, going back to the CRMS
page, let's walk through a data

1c60ae60-a84d-475f-b4a0-9d7c9d9d0d9f-1
00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:42.298
download. Again, these data are
derived values calculated off of

1c60ae60-a84d-475f-b4a0-9d7c9d9d0d9f-2
00:00:42.298 --> 00:00:46.055
the raw data that's available
through CIMS. Let's do hydro

1c60ae60-a84d-475f-b4a0-9d7c9d9d0d9f-3
00:00:46.055 --> 00:00:50.130
averages within each of the data
download categories. There are

1c60ae60-a84d-475f-b4a0-9d7c9d9d0d9f-4
00:00:50.130 --> 00:00:54.013
links to provide additional
detail relevant to the data type

1c60ae60-a84d-475f-b4a0-9d7c9d9d0d9f-5
00:00:54.013 --> 00:00:55.160
you're requesting.

00:00:55.800 --> 00:00:59.642
As an example, by clicking the
hydro surrogates info link, you

2e0a2a55-f617-47fe-b136-1fa0a4b9c160-1
00:00:59.642 --> 00:01:03.119
can learn more about how the
CRMS network optimized data

2e0a2a55-f617-47fe-b136-1fa0a4b9c160-2
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.657
collection by implementing
surrogate hydrologic recorders

2e0a2a55-f617-47fe-b136-1fa0a4b9c160-3
00:01:06.657 --> 00:01:10.195
and locations where nearby hydro
stations were collecting

2e0a2a55-f617-47fe-b136-1fa0a4b9c160-4
00:01:10.195 --> 00:01:11.109
surrogate data.

00:01:12.250 --> 00:01:16.739
Under other data types, you may
see more info on data links

776cd623-eea6-4e5d-912b-579ef397e276-1
00:01:16.739 --> 00:01:20.929
which describe the data or
derived metrics. OK. Back to

776cd623-eea6-4e5d-912b-579ef397e276-2
00:01:20.929 --> 00:01:22.950
performing a data download.

00:01:23.670 --> 00:01:27.080
First select a data choice.
Let's do monthly.

feae7705-a99f-4dbd-917c-549b61f5ac0e-0
00:01:28.670 --> 00:01:32.662
And then a year choice meaning
type of year. Since it's hydro,

feae7705-a99f-4dbd-917c-549b61f5ac0e-1
00:01:32.662 --> 00:01:33.930
we'll do water year.

d2dffbf7-1d6b-4472-a85e-5ffcf5adb6fc-0
00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:38.919
And let's just select 2016
through 2020. Scrolling down,

d2dffbf7-1d6b-4472-a85e-5ffcf5adb6fc-1
00:01:38.919 --> 00:01:43.390
you're then given choices of
hydro stations, which you can

d2dffbf7-1d6b-4472-a85e-5ffcf5adb6fc-2
00:01:43.390 --> 00:01:47.255
scroll down to select
individually, or you can use

d2dffbf7-1d6b-4472-a85e-5ffcf5adb6fc-3
00:01:47.255 --> 00:01:51.953
this map selector if you don't
already know the number of the

d2dffbf7-1d6b-4472-a85e-5ffcf5adb6fc-4
00:01:51.953 --> 00:01:55.970
stations that you're interested
in, and then submit.

d42b12f8-da7f-4eb4-87bf-9617c3a9ebba-0
00:01:57.100 --> 00:02:01.367
Scrolling down, this will bring
up the stations that you

d42b12f8-da7f-4eb4-87bf-9617c3a9ebba-1
00:02:01.367 --> 00:02:05.635
selected in the map selector.
Then you would put in your

d42b12f8-da7f-4eb4-87bf-9617c3a9ebba-2
00:02:05.635 --> 00:02:10.053
e-mail address and submit
request. This action prompts the

00:02:10.053 --> 00:02:14.920
automated delivery to your inbox
of a CSV file like this one. If

d42b12f8-da7f-4eb4-87bf-9617c3a9ebba-4
00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:19.712

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:31.680
With station ID, date and then
your calculated or derived

similar to the example I've

0e9c344e-c643-42ed-b08f-6e9528d8e4f1-2
00:02:47.012 --> 00:02:49.020
provided with the hydro data.
