  • Dataset Abstract
    Water depth (from October 2000 to present) and water temperature (from September 2021 to present) are recorded at least hourly at SRS1c (not active), SRS1d, SRS2, SRS3, SRS4, SRS5, and SRS6. Water depth is measured with pressure water level loggers (Infinities USA or HOBO) that record water height relative to the local soil surface. Water temperature near soil surface is measured with HOBO loggers. Note by IM (2021): The water meters at some of the SRS sites have been moved over the years as boardwalks have been reconstructed. There is no set survey datum for these sites, so it is impossible to correct the data to an actual datum. For hydrologic applications, it may be better to use water level data from USGS stations. Additional note by IM (4/15/2023): Water depth data collected by HOBO sensors in the previous package revision (knb-lter-fce.1094.16) and this revision (knb-lter-fce.1094.17) are incorrect and should not be used in analyses. A pending package update will correct the water depth values collected by HOBO sensors.

    Description
    Infinities pressure water level recorders or HOBO water level loggers and HOBO water temperature loggers are placed at each site. The recorders collect water level and water temperature readings at least every hour. The data are collected monthly, and all the readings from a day are averaged. From October 2000, water depths were recorded using Infinities Pressure water level loggers. In 2021, the Infinities pressure water level recorders from SRS 4, 5 & 6 were replaced by HOBO U20 Series Water level loggers. In September 2021, water temperature near soil surface was added as a new variable to the dataset, the data are collected using HOBO water temp Pro v2 loggers or HOBO U20 Series Water level loggers. In 2022, the Infinities pressure water level recorders from SRS 1d, 2 & 3 were replaced by HOBO U20 Series Water level loggers.

    Quality Control
    The data are downloaded from the loggers; they are checked for negatives (values given especially during dry season). Negatives that are found are converted to zeros. Next the data are checked for peaks and valleys (values that are found to be excessively high or low). Lastly the data are averaged per day. The next several formulas are used for these checks, averaging the data set, and anomaly investigation: [=IF({time}=0,AVERAGE({24 values}),"")], [=IF(COUNT({24 values})>=22,"",{date at zero time})], [=IF(COUNT(D8:D10)>=2,IF(OR(ABS(D8-D9)<2,ABS(D9-D10)<2,D9=""),""),"")], [=IF(ISNUMBER(D9),IF(D9<>0,"",IF(AND(ABS(D9-D8)<2,ABS(D9-D10)<2),"")),"")].
