SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
LOCATION.--Lat 39°56'29", long 74°05'02"
referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Dover Town, Ocean County,
NJ, Hydrologic Unit 02040301, on Route 37 bridge, 3000 ft west of
Seaside Heights, 1.2 mi northeast of Goodluck Point, and 1.4 mi east of
Bay Shore. Prior to this, the gage was located under the bridge tenders
office, on the east bound portion of route 37.
PERIOD OF RECORD.--Continuous-record tide gage, April 2000 to
current year. Prior to June 12, 2015, gage was located 0.2 mi southeast
of the the Route 37 bridge and was published as 01408750 Barnegat Bay
at Seaside Heights.
GAGE.--Tide elevation recorder with telemetry and tidal
crest-stage gage. Datum of gage is at 0.00 ft NAVD of 1988. To
determine approximate elevations to NGVD of 1929 datum, add 1.01
ft.
REMARKS.--Records poor. Streamflow at this site is significantly
affected by astronomical tides. Daily mean discharges were computed
from filtered unit value discharge data. The Godin low-pass filter is
used to remove principal tidal frequencies from unit values. Positive
discharge (ebb tide) is generally to the south direction, and negative
discharge (flood tide) is generally to the north.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD.--DISCHARGE: Maximum positive
discharge (unfiltered), 74,800 ft
3/s, Oct 30, 2012; maximum
negative discharge (unfiltered), -182,000 ft
3/s, Oct 29,
2012. GAGE HEIGHT: Maximum gage height, 6.35 ft, Oct 30, 2012; minimum
gage height, -1.97 ft, Feb 19, 2013.
