By viewing, using, or downloading Water and Atmospheric Resources Monitoring Program (WARM) / Illinois Climate Network (ICN) data you agree to the following.
Quality assurance and control are a high priority for WARM network managers. Information concerning the measurements and quality assurance protocols can be found in the Quality Assurance Plan for the Water and Atmospheric Resources Monitoring (WARM) Program.
Data collected through the WARM networks are considered as providing information on an environmental event at a specific location and time. The use of data collected at a monitoring station may not transfer to other locations without introducing additional uncertainty, which increases as the distance from the observation site increases and with the spatial variability of the particular parameter of interest, in accordance with the time scale of the event being measured. The data user assumes all responsibility for this risk. The Illinois State Water Survey and/or the Prairie Research Institute shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described or information contained on these pages. These data, information and related graphics are not legal documents and are not intended to be used as such.
The Illinois State Water Survey and/or the Prairie Research Institute gives no warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, utility or completeness of this information.
