Susquehanna Shale Hills CZO - Cole Farm Spring Discharge and Water Temperature

A HS 0.8 flume was installed on the spring and wing walls were constructed to help ensure water flows through the flume. A stilling well attached to the right bank side of the flume houses an Onset HOBO U20 non-vented pressure transducer measuring water depth and water temperature (°C) every 15 minutes.  Continuous water level depths were calculated in the software by processing the well sensor data with barometric pressure data recorded on a separate Onset HOBO Barometric transducer. Water depths are observed and annotated in a separate file. These observed depths are used to correct the HOBO sensor data. Discharge is computed using the provided rating table for the flume and applied to the 15-minute water level data.
