      <status>
        <progress>202207: Updated coordinates, elevations, installation dates, and associated metadata.Metadata was enhanced in 2016 by I. San Gil, using the Drupal Ecological Information Management System (DEIMS).Meteorological station locations were revised during the 2008-2009 season by Hassan Basagic using a Garmin Etrex handheld (accuracy 3m) GPS, recorded in WGS84. All elevations are approximate.</progress>
