Research direction

Start by locating the documentation covering WQX profiles and WQP service calls, then read the WQP Profiles blog post and the “What is WQX?” blog post referenced in the issue. Update the relevant documentation to cover CharacteristicNameUserSupplied, both blog references, and the new default profile for WQP service calls.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

  • CharacteristicNameUserSupplied is going to be an important mapping field for USGS data for at least some time
  • reference the WQP Profiles blog post and the 'What is WQX?' blog post
  • Mention the new default profile for WQP service calls
