Publications
Three publications document the acquisition, processing, and evaluation of flow velocity, water temperature, and conductivity data presented in this report and collected at the five monitoring stations (GS-203, GS-33, GS-36, NP202, and SH1) in Shark River Slough, ENP, during the 1999-2003 wet seasons. These publications describe the instrumentation; discuss the deployment techniques and data-processing methods; present illustrative examples of flow-velocity, conductivity, and temperature-profile data; provide mean daily flow-velocity summaries; and identify typical horizontal flow speeds and directions at the monitoring locations. These reports are:
U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 02-159: Flow Velocity, Water Temperature, and Conductivity in Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park, Florida: July 1999-August 2001
U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 03-348: Flow Velocity, Water Temperature, and Conductivity in Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park, Florida: August 2001-June 2002
U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 04-1233: Flow Velocity, Water Temperature, and Conductivity in Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park, Florida: June 2002 - July 2003
Additional sets of flow-velocity and water-quality data were collected in the wetlands between canal C-111 and the ENP boundary during September 1997 and 1999. These flow-velocity data are compiled, summarized, and tabulated in USGS Open File Report 00-56 by Ball and Schaffranek (2000) available on the South Florida Information Access (SOFIA) website http://sofia.usgs.gov/publications/ofr/00-56/. The data are available on the SOFIA website.
