attribute Beach_Closures comment String The original beach closures dataset was for beaches, not observational stations, but in this NetCDF file, the beach closures are indexed to the Station ID dimension. Stations corresponding to closed beaches were marked 1 for closed (as opposed to 0 for open) for the times when the corresponding beaches were closed. To find which beach corresponds to each Station ID, see the Name of Beach variable. In the original Beach Closures data, there were a few inconsistencies in the way the beaches were named, and due to these inconsistencies, there may be inaccuracies for a small minority (5 or 6 beaches) of the beach closure data in this dataset. To see the code that was used to convert between the beach naming systems in the lab data entry file and the beach closure file, see this github page: https://github.com/austinbennysmith/OSOM-ERDDAP/tree/master/Making_NetCDF_Files. For the original beach closure data, see the Rhode Island Department of Health.
attribute Beach_Closures long_name String Beach Closures
