How does a station as defined in the AquaCalc 5000 differ from a traditional station?
The word “station” has a slightly different meaning when using an AquaCalc 5000 than you may be used to. A traditional “station” (vertical) is a position in a stream cross-section identified by a distance. Several measurements (observations) can be made at different depths at that same distance. In the AquaCalc 5000, a station is the same as an observation. So, in the AquaCalc you can have two “stations”, each at a different depth, but both at the same distance. In the AquaCalc 5000, a station is an individual measurement (observation) at a given distance and depth. Two measurements (0.2 and a 0.6) taken at a given distance are both defined as stations.
