USGS Water-Year Summary 2024
0140914550 MANAHAWKIN BAY AT ROUTE 72 BRIDGE, NEAR SHIP BOTTOM, NJ
LOCATION - Lat 39°39'48", long 74°12'25" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Stafford Township, Ocean County, NJ, Hydrologic Unit 02040301, on wooden pier below Route 72 bridge, 0.8 mi southeast of Bayside, 1.9 mi north of Egg Island, and 2.1 mi west of Surf City.
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - April 2012 to September 2014.
REVISED RECORDS - WDR US-2013: 2012(M)
GAGE - Acoustic Doppler velocity meter, acoustic stage sensor and temperature sensor with telemetry. Datum of gage is 0.00 ft at NAVD of 1988.
REMARKS - Records fair, except for estimated daily discharges, which are 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 were computed from unfiltered unit value discharges.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - DISCHARGE: Maximum positive discharge (unfiltered), 105,000 ft³/s (estimated), Oct 29, 2012; maximum negative discharge (unfiltered), -70,200 ft³/s (estimated, last recorded value before period of missing record), Oct 29, 2012. GAGE HEIGHT: Maximum gage height, 5.2 ft (estimated, last recorded value before period of missing record), Oct 29, 2012; minimum gage height, -2.50 ft, Feb 19, 2013.
