CERP Picayune Strand - Picayune Strand Restoration Project Weather Monitoring

The Picayune Strand Restoration Project (PSRP) monitoring effort is supplemented with meteorological data from one active weather station (Southern Golden Gate Estates), as well as four active and three inactive rainfall stations located throughout the project area and near vicinity. Data for these stations are available in DBHYDRO; the current dataset includes DBKEY links for daily mean or sum values primarily recorded with Campbell Scientific Measurement and Control Dataloggers. Two older, inactive stations recorded data with Belfort Rain Gauges: Fakahatchee Strand and East Golden Gate Estates. Copeland Tower station historically recorded data via standard rain can, and currently utilizes a tipping bucket. Additional data for the majority of stations are accessible in DBHYDRO with other DBKEYS; these data include breakpoint, daily maximum, and daily minimum values recorded with either Campbell Datalogger, Belfort Rain Gauge, or NRG rain gauge augmented with radar-based rainfall data. Two of the inactive stations were operated by the Florida Forestry Service: Copeland Tower (rain can) and Miles City Tower. All active stations are operated and maintained by SFWMD staff.
