Description

This dataset contains water level data from Back Sound, North Carolina collected with a stationary logger deployed from June to December of 2011.

Other Back Sound datasets in this project:
Oyster density and length
Laser scans
Reef elevation, exposure, and vertical change

These data are published in:

Ridge, J. T., Rodriguez, A. B., Fodrie, F. J., Lindquist, N. L., Brodeur, M. C., Coleman, S. E., ... & Theuerkauf, E. J. (2015). Maximizing oyster-reef growth supports green infrastructure with accelerating sea-level rise. Scientific reports, 5. doi: 10.1038/srep14785

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Three HOBO(R) U20 Water Level Loggers (Onset Computer Corporation;+- 0.3 cm accuracy) were deployed in Middle Marsh (site MF-1). The loggers were placed in a stilling well (slotted PVC pipe) attached to rebar that was driven into the substrate to refusal (~3 m deep).

The water level was initially sampled every ten minutes from 2011-12-13 to 2011-08-25 and increased to every five minutes for the rest of the deployment.

Three deployment series at site MF-1:
2011-06-18T12:10Z to 2011-08-25T09:40Z (10-minute sampling)
2011-08-25T12:05Z to 2011-09-23T09:35Z (5-minute sampling)
2011-09-28T17:30Z to 2011-12-13T01:05Z (5-minute sampling)

See Ridge et al. 2017 for additional deployment information.
