{
  "id": "MLC-T-MET-008742",
  "term": "Secondary hydrometric station",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A river or lake gauging station operated for only a limited number of years to add records beyond those of the network of principal hydrometric stations. Its short stage or discharge record is related to the record at a nearby long-term station, so that flow at the secondary site is estimated over a longer period. The principal station, by contrast, is operated permanently.",
