Water level recorder is located in the mangrove forests approximately 100 m inland at Tarpon Bay. Water levels or SRS5 are recorded at 1h intervals. Water level recorder is located in the mangrove forests approximately 100 m at the Shark River Slough.Water levels for SRS6 are recorded at 1h intervals. Water level recorder is located in the mangrove forests approximately 100 m at the Shark River Slough. Water levels for TS/Ph6a are recorded at 1h intervals. Water level recorder is located in the mangrove forests approximately 30-40 m inland at the Taylor River Slough. Water level recorder is located in between of two 20 by 20 m permanent monitoring plots. Water levels for TS/Ph7a are recorded at 1h intervals. Water level recorder is located in the mangrove forests approximately 30-60 m inland at the Taylor River Slough. Water level recorder is located in between of two 20 by 20 m permanent monitoring plots. Water levels for TS/Ph8 are recorded at 1h intervals. Water level recorder is located in the mangrove forests 30 m inland at the Joe Bay area. Water level recorder is located in between of two 20 by 20 m permanent monitoring plots. All water level data is measured by Louisiana State University.

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 Distribution Online distribution: https://fcelter.fiu.edu/perl/public_data_download.pl?datasetid=PHY_Castaneda_001.txt Intellectual Rights This information is released under the Creative Commons license - Attribution - CC BY (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
