 ====== How to select river stations for the ECOOP River Station Lists ======
-DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT
+DRAFT 3 Jan 2008
-The ECOOP River Station Catalogues are an overview over **all** the river discharge stations that are relevant to coastal and shelf seas oceanography in the regions. The ECOOP River Station Lists contain a subset of the listings in the Catalogues. The selected subset contains the stations that are most important (in some sense) for operational oceanography, i.e., the ones to be pursued first for data access. It is a short-list that, if attained, would cover the basic needs of operational modeling and monitoring; adding other stations would only give marginal benefit.

+=== What are the criteria for selecting the stations? ===
-  - The rivers included should cover at least 80% of the total freshwater discharge to the ROOS region.
+They may vary by region, but here are some candidates:
-  * Stations that are representative for discharge to the sea for the river, or the discharge can be parameterized on the data.
+  - All the largest rivers emptying into the ROOS region should be included.
-  * Rivers that are especially important sources of nutrients, pollutants, etc.
+  - The stations included should cover at least 80% of the total freshwater discharge to the ROOS region.
-  * NRT data are currently available or reasonably feasible.
+  - The stations included represent the discharge to the sea for the river, or the discharge can be parameterized on their data.
-  * Useful sets of archived data are available.
+  - NRT data access is currently available or reasonably feasible.
-  * Station where there exist formulae for parameterizing other river discharges, total run-off for an area, etc.
+  - Useful sets of archived data are available.
-  * Rivers that affect particularly sensitive coastal systems / habitats.
+  - Other considerations, for example:
+    * Rivers that are especially important sources of nutrients, pollutants, etc.
+    * Station where there exist formulae for parameterizing other river discharges, total run-off for an area, etc.
+    * Rivers that affect particularly sensitive coastal systems / habitats.
+=== What to do? ===
+  * Create a separate xls file for the ECOOP River Station List for each ROOS region. Simply remove all the non-included stations from the ECOOP River Station Catalogue.
+  * Name the file similar to BOOS_river_list.xls
+  * Do not change the column structure from the V0 River Station Catalogue xls file.
