MethodsSampling Description
Water level data is recorded daily at 1h intervals
Method Step
Description
Water level dataset for SRS4. Water levels are recorded at 1h intervals. Water level recorder is located in the mangrove forests approximately 100 m inland at Tarpon Bay. Water level data is measured by Louisiana State University. Water levels are measured above (positive values) and below (negative values) ground level.
Instrumentation
Ultrasonic Water Level Data Loggers with PC Transfer Software and the HP48GX, INFINITIES USA, INC. Beginning on Nov 2010, we installed an ONSET HOBO water level datalogger. The Infinities data logger was broken and the company discontinued this model.Quality Control
Dataset is inspected by PI for QA/QC; standard validation checks for negative numbers, graphs to detect potential outliers
