  • Dataset Abstract
    Temperature, salinity and depth were continuously collected using Hydrolab/Hach sensors within the coastal mangrove transition zone at 16 sites from southern Biscayne Bay to Cape Sable. Data were collected at 12 sites within the coastal mangrove zone of Everglades National Park, incorporating the Cape Sable, Taylor River and Panhandle region. Data were collected at 4 sites within the coastal mangrove zone of southern Biscayne Bay, incorporating the Manatee Bay, Barnes Sound, and Card Sound regions. Rainfall, pH, and dissolved oxygen were collected at a number of these sites with varying periods of record.

  • Methods
    Sampling Description
    Monitoring physical parameters at hourly intervals. Data reported are daily averages from the 24 measurements/day

    Method Step

    Description
    Monitoring hydrologic and hydrographic parameters

    Instrumentation
    Data were collected using Hydrolab/Hach Quanta Transmitters and stored in field on Cambell Dataloggers. Data Collection Platforms built by Remote Data Inc.

    Quality Control
    All data go through a preliminary quality check after each transmission and then are extensively quality checked and quality assured by the Research Manager at the end of each Hydrologic Year
