Monitoring location 01409124 is associated with an Estuary in Ocean County, New Jersey. Current conditions of Temperature and Tidal elevation are available. Water data back to 2018 are available online.

The water temperature data for this station are temporary and will only be displayed for 120 days. Although the instrumentation is calibrated at least once/year, the temporary classification means that documented routine inspections and other quality assurance measures are not performed that would make the data acceptable for archival, retrieval, or future use in general scientific or interpretive studies.
