Description
Label a monitoring point's stated upstream/downstream position.
Environmental inventories distinguish wet/dry material, analytical detection limits, gas-volume reference states, represented area and allocation weights. A monitoring completeness fraction can exceed one when extra records are present. Supplied conversion and allocation factors need separate justification before physical or environmental interpretation.
Label a monitoring point's stated upstream/downstream position.
When to use this tool
Use Monitoring Point Upstream Downstream Code when checking the stated environmental reporting, analytical, inventory or support convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter pointId, recordedPosition. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read label. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty pointId and position upstream, downstream, reference or unspecified. Format pointId [position].1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| pointId | Point Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| recordedPosition | Recorded Position | Required. Text; one of "upstream", "downstream", "reference", "unspecified"; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| label | Formatted supplied record wording; no independent validation of its substantive meaning. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"pointId": "P17",
"recordedPosition": "upstream"
},
"output": {
"label": "P17 [upstream]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No location, flow direction, reference suitability or monitoring design is independently verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use calibrated representative measurements and appropriate complete analytical, spatial or life-cycle methods for actual environmental conclusions and compliance decisions.
