Franklin (retired) Publication_Date: 1999 Title: Flow and Velocity Data Online_Linkage: http://sofia.usgs.gov/projects/flow_velocity/ Description: Abstract: Velocity data are being provided in an Access database and Excel spreadsheets. The database summarizes the velocity data, site location and description, vegetative characteristics, and water quality parameters. The spreadsheet filters and averages the complete raw velocity data set per measurement. These data were collected at two minute intervals for 10 minutes. The file naming convention is as follows: (example) E07T31197.xls Column 1: E or W East or west from Taylor Slough Airboat Trail Column 2-3: Sequential numbers from the center of the transect Column 4-5: Sequential transect number Column 6-9: Month and Year data was collected Purpose: The objective of the project is to make the best possible estimate of the flow velocities and water depths across Buttonwood Embankment during high flow for use as model input for an ongoing project being conducted in the USGS-WRD office in Miami. Estimates will be used to provide management alternatives and will create salinity concentrations suitable for ecologic integrity. Supplemental_Information: This project ended in 1999.

Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: locations determined using a very high resolution GPS Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The data-collection effort consisted of measurements of depth and velocity at about 80 sites along Buttonwood Embankment suspected to flow during high flow periods. A newly available, sensitive, low velocity meter was used to measure the velocity; standard sounding techniques were used to determine the depth; and a very high resolution Global Positioning System (GPS) was used to determine the location. An initial reconnaissance was made in October 1996 to examine established locations where flow over the embankment will most likely occur. A total of four complete measurements were conducted, starting as soon as flow over the embankment began during the summer of 1997. Data were collected in July, September, and November 1997 and periodically during the 1998 water year.
