Summary

Restoring sheet-flow behavior in the Florida Everglades to more natural pre-drainage conditions is a goal of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. As part of the U.S. Geological Survey Priority Ecosystems Science Initiative, flow-velocity, water-temperature, and conductivity data were collected at five locations in Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park (ENP), Florida, from 1999 to 2003. All data were processed, quality-checked, and edited for sheet-flow analyses. Brief descriptions of the data-recording frequencies, instrument accuracies, and data processing methods are given; the format and availability of the data are discussed; and instructions for accessing the data are presented. Photographs of vegetation at the data-collection locations also are shown.
