SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - December 1997 to current year. January 1974 to June 1994, in files of Town of Hempstead Department of Conservation & Waterways. Precipitation, wind speed and direction, air temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure records for March 1998 to current year, and solar radiation records for August 2004 to current year, are unpublished and available in files of the Geological Survey.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is NGVD of 1929. January 1974 to June 1994, water-stage recorder at site 150 ft northeast.
REMARKS - ELEVATION WY 2014: Records rated good, except those for Oct. 1-22, Oct. 28 to Jan. 19, Jan. 29, June 21 to July 6, Aug. 12-18, 26-31, Sept. 11-20, which are fair, Oct. 23-27, Jan. 20-28, Jan. 30 to June 20, July 31 to Aug. 11, Sept. 1-10, 29-30, which are poor and July 7-30 which were deleted. Periods of missing record were estimated with MISTE using a linear regression with 01310521 and 01311143. Satellite and telephone elevation, precipitation, and wind speed and direction telemeters at station. Telephone telemeter for air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and solar radiation parameters at station.
