Units need to be set on time series

[smalers]

I made an attempt to display the units correctly in the time series list. However, setting the units in the time series does not seem to be happening? See Doug Stenzel email below. Maybe need to write a datastore method to return the units given data type and interval, so hard-coding is in one place.

I think you are going to have make assumptions and hardcode units like you have always had to do for HydroBase data.
For structure you are correct that units are time series metadata BUT they are not water class metadata.   The units vary with time step (Daily = CFS, Month = AF, Annual= AF)
For the telemetry stations dataset, in addition to the station metadata, we return the last received current measurement readings for what we have deemed to be the primary parameter of the station.  (ie. DISCHRG or STORAGE).  So, the [units] field you are seeing is associated with the [meas_value] and the [meas_value] is associated with the [parameter] in that dataset.   We could prefix the field names a bit more but I am leaning more towards documentation to describe these fields.
As for telemetrystationdatatypes parameters we do not enforce a unit standards on parameters nor do we store this anywhere in our database, so we can't really return units.
For water levels, we had standardized on FT and will work on getting the documentation updated.
FUTURE:
Climate stations does return the units (so that will not be an issue).
Surface Water stations does return the units (so that will not be an issue).
