The gage detail page

Every gage has one page, organized into tabs. All tabs are visible to everyone; without an account the data window is capped at the last 7 days, and some tabs (Year-over-Year, Monitors, Archive) explain what they'd show and how to unlock it.

The Today tab: current conditions, computed insights, and the day's timeline.

Today

Current conditions: the latest reading with a high/normal/low status dot (relative to the gage's own 25th–75th percentile record), insight cards with computed statements about the day — current flow vs. period median, trend over recent days, the day's peak — and three charts: the flow and stage timeline, a 24-hour flow-duration curve, and a distribution histogram. Click an insight card to jump to the reading behind it.

Readings

The same charts over any date range you pick, at the interval you pick, plus a daily min–mean–max range chart. The timeline adds a configurable trailing moving average. Zoom with scroll or pinch; drag to pan; click any point for the full reading and its metadata.

Year-over-Year

Long-horizon context: today's flow against the historical percentile envelope for the date, every water year overlaid on one seasonal axis, and annual statistics per water year. Needs multiple years of record — the page states the minimum where it applies. See Charts & statistics for the exact definitions.

Anomalies

Two detectors run over your selected range: a z-score test against the trailing 30 days, and a step-change test against the prior reading. Both thresholds are adjustable on the tab, and flagged readings are listed in a table under the chart. Detector math is on the Charts & statistics page.

Monitors

Monitors attached to this gage, if your plan includes them — see Monitors & alerts.

Location

The station on a map, along with its metadata: operating agency, station ID, and a link to the source record.

Live

A live camera view, for the minority of stations that have one.

Data

The raw readings as a table, with export to spreadsheet. Flagged readings are marked. Paid plans add derived columns and workbook exports — see Exports & the API.

Archive

Readings older than the hot-storage window live in long-term storage. This tab shows how much archived history the gage has and, on plans with archive access, lets you restore a span for analysis and reporting. Newly tracked gages restore their last decade automatically.

The strip under the page header links to the operating agency's own record for the station. GageLog never paywalls the underlying readings — they are public data, and the source link is always present.
