USGS Water-Year Summary 2023
01409147 BARNEGAT INLET AT BARNEGAT LIGHT, NJ
LOCATION - Lat 39°45'49", long 74°06'15" referenced to North American Datum of 1983, Barnegat Light Borough, Ocean County, NJ, Hydrologic Unit 02040301, 0.1 mi southeast of Barnegat Light House (Barnegat Light House State Park), 1.2 mi northeast of High Bar Harbor, and 3 mi northeast of Loveladies.
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - November 2011 to March 2016 (discontinued).
REVISED RECORDS - WDR US-2013: 2012.
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 poor. Flow 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 east direction and negative discharge (flood tide) is generally to the west.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - DISCHARGE: Maximum positive discharge (unfiltered), 140,000 ft³/s, Dec 27, 2012, although a greater discharge may have occurred during period of missing record Oct 29 to Nov 4, 2012; maximum negative discharge (unfiltered), -214,000 ft³/s, Jun 4, 2012. GAGE HEIGHT: Maximum gage height, 5.53 ft (from storm tide sensor data), Oct 29, 2012; minimum gage height, -4.08 ft, Jan 19, 2016.
