Telemetry Ingest and Dataflow for Non-Satellite Data Collection

Wednesday July 17, 2024 3:00pm - 4:50pm CDT

Midway 11

The telemetry ingest dataflow (TID) project is part of the overall NWISmod initiative that is updating internal NWIS systems to meet with current technology. The objectives of the TID project are to provide Water Science-Centers with a centralized method and infrastructure to ingest non-satellite water-data into NWIS (Cellular and machine-to-machine). The goal of the system is to eliminate the burden on Science Centers that use various methods and workarounds to publish non-satellite telemetered data into the NWIS dataflow. This presentation will introduce the TID services and include discussions and examples of field logger setup, connection to the TID service, and modifications in DECAP that will accommodate new data sources.

Accessing AQUARIUS Samples Data via Alternate Means

Thursday July 18, 2024 1:00pm - 1:50pm CDT

Regency Ballroom B

There is more than one way to retrieve data from AQUARIUS Samples. This presentation will introduce you to the AQS APIs and Dremio. We will connect Excel to the AQS APIs to create ‘live’ workbooks that can be refreshed. We will use Dremio to perform national scale queries in a data lakehouse and discuss sharing common queries for all to use.

NuGo2 Release Update and Training

Thursday July 18, 2024 1:00pm - 1:50pm CDT

Midway 6

NuGo2 is ready for release! NuGo2 replaces legacy Go2, which will be decommissioned, to alert hydrographers and data managers about potential site issues and the need for site visits. This session will give an update and overview of functionality in NuGo2 followed by a training on setting up configurations. NuGo2 is a modernized version of Go2 with improved code, centralized and supported infrastructure, and broad accessibility. NuGo2 is implemented on a national level, making it available to all WSCs and supportive of broad scale diagnostics and situational awareness. NuGo2 accesses all telemetry methods, incorporates different data sources, centralizes configurations, and allows for customization including flexible parameter selection.
