NOAA RESTORE Science Program: A Web-based Interactive Decision-Support Tool for Adaptation of Coastal Urban and Natural Ecosystems (ACUNE) in Southwest Florida: Episodic Water Level Monitoring from 2018-06-10 to 2020-01-10

This collection includes in situ observations of water level collected at a high temporal resolution. Observations were collected at 28 sites along the Southwest Coast of Florida from Naples to the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Preserve from 2018-06-10 to 2020-01-10. Included in this collection are: 4 sites in Clam Bay; 8 sites in Goodland; 6 sites in Henderson Creek and 2 sites in Rookery Bay; and 8 sites in the Ten Thousand Islands.

Sensors were surveyed by RTK GPS and were vertically positioned at locations estimated to be slightly above local Mean High High Water targeting the collection of data during higher-than-normal water level, episodic events only (e.g., astronomically higher tides, tropical storms, etc.). Although the sensors were deployed during the 2018 and 2019 Atlantic Hurricane season, no tropical storm events were recorded. However, several small astronomically high tide events were observed. The primary variable being observed was water pressure when the sensors were immersed.
