Surface waters – no published conductivity data

[amyerspigg]

We only published surface water salinity. Users of the data would like the conductivity data published as well.

@amyerspigg does this mean we need to add this data file to the submission?

@peterregier we may be adding conductivity to the EC1 submission and you're the author on the water quality R script so I had a few questions. Line 53 of the script is where spcond_mscm shows up, is this the variable we should use? If so do you know flag ranges for this variable?

Line 53 in b8f4163

sal_psu = gsw_SP_from_C(C = spcond_mscm, t = 25, p = 0),

@stephpenn1 the titrator was using a Cond Sensor InLab® 710 with a range of
0.01 – 500 mS/cm per https://www.mt.com/shop/us/en/product/51302256/cond-sensor-inlab-710. We could clean based on spcond_mscm, but I suggest cleaning by a reasonable salinity range based on estuarine conditions: 0-35 PSU potentially.

@stephpenn1 the spcond_mscm should be the variable line for what peter mentioned above for the measurement. I was thinking we could just add it in as a new data file OR add it into the salinity data file so you'd have salinity or conductivity in that one. Open to suggestions.
