ABSTRACT

A project within the U. S. Geological Survey Place-Based Studies Program is focused on investigation of "Forcing Effects on Flow Structure in Vegetated Wetlands of the Everglades." Data-collection efforts conducted within this project at three locations in Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park, during the 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 wet seasons are described in this report. Techniques for collecting and processing the data and summaries of daily mean flow-velocity, water-temperature, and conductivity data are presented. The quality-checked and edited data have been compiled and stored on the USGS South Florida Information Access website.
