Harry Jenter Ray Schaffranek (retired); Ami L. Ricassi (no longer at USGS); Kevin Kotun (ENP) 2008 maps and data http://sofia.usgs.gov/time/data.php The TIME Database has been discontinued and links are provided to individual agencies - Everglades National Park (ENP/MMN), South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) - to obtain the data previously stored in the database. A critical objective of the south Florida ecosystem restoration effort is to preserve ecological conditions that are consistent with habitat requirements. The duration, timing, and extent of wetland inundation in the southern Everglades have been greatly distorted as evidenced by shifts in biologic and vegetative species. Both natural and regulatory factors contribute to influence of hydroperiods making their precise evaluation and management difficult. This complexity is particularly problematic in the transition zone between the Everglades wetlands and coastal embayments encompassing the mangrove ecotone where freshwater inflow effects on salinities must also be considered. In order to correctly and sufficiently investigate flow effects on both hydroperiods and embayment salinities neither hydrologic processes affecting flows in the wetlands nor the dynamic effects of external forces such as tides and winds can be ignored. This project entails translation of findings from the Southern Inland and Coastal Systems (SICS) project and extension of the model westward to resolve boundary limitations and to enable concurrent analysis of wetland and tidal response throughout the entire saltwater-freshwater interface zone along the Gulf coast and Florida Bay. Extension of the SICS model westward will require the addition of continuous monitoring stations to supplement data from coastal creek stations and control structures needed to provide boundary conditions as well as the synoptic measurement of flows and water levels in the wetlands for use in model calibration and verification. 19951001 Present ground condition In Work As needed -81.56 -80.3 25.98 25.02 none hydrology stage wind rain conductivity discharge salinity meteorology TIME Tides and Inflows in the Mangrove Ecotone ISO 19115 Topic Category climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere environment inlandWaters 004 007 012 Department of Commerce, 1995, Countries, Dependencies, Areas of Special Sovereignty, and Their Principal Administrative Divisions, Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 10-4, Washington, DC, National Institute of Standards and Technology United States US U.S. Department of Commerce, 1987, Codes for the identification of the States, the District of Columbia and the outlying areas of the United States, and associated areas (Federal Information Processing Standard 5-2): Washington, DC, NIST Florida FL Department of Commerce, 1990, Counties and Equivalent Entities of the United States, Its Possessions, and Associated Areas, FIPS 6-3, Washington, DC, National Institute of Standards and Technology Miami-Dade County Monroe County Collier County USGS Geographic Names Information System Florida Bay Everglades National Park Big Cypress National Preserve Chatham River Lostmans River Broad River Harney River Shark River Slough Tarpon Bay Shark River Lane River North River White Water Bay Buoy Key Murray Key Taylor Slough Joe Bay Long Sound Little Blackwater Sound Trout Cove Trout Creek Mud Creek Taylor River Garfield Bight McCormick Creek Terrapin Bay Little Madeira Bay Duck Key Jewfish Creek none Central Everglades SW Big Cypress South East Coast Southern Inland Coastal System SICS TIME mangrove ecotone Old Inghram Highway Stillwater Creek none These data may be subject to significant change and are not citeable until reviewed and approved by the agency responsible for their collection.
