Rainfall Measurements from 10 Gauges in Southeast Interceptor Basin, Summer 2015

Rainfall data from 10 rain gauges within the Southeast Interceptor drainage basin during the summer season of 2015. The data set records timestamped pulses for each 0.25 mm of precipitation. It was prepared for research purposes related to the St. Lawrence River and the Aquahacking 2016 event.

Use Cases

• Analyze summer rainfall intensity and frequency based on timestamped 0.25 mm pulses.
• Model hydrological runoff in the Southeast Interceptor basin based on precipitation data.
• Support research for river health and water management events like Aquahacking.

Strengths

• Data from 10 specific rain gauges provides localized measurement points.
• Timestamped measurements at a 0.25 mm resolution offer granular precipitation records.
• Data was prepared for a specific research purpose (Aquahacking 2016) and St. Lawrence River study.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is a one-time extraction with no planned updates.
