GAGE - Acoustic Doppler velocity meter with up-looking acoustic stage sensor. Datum of gage is North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).
REMARKS - Positive flow is towards Long Lake and Florida Bay. The discharge for this station is more affected by wind than astronomical tides. Discharge at wind-driven sites may require a different filter (subtidal) than the Godin low-pass filter. Discharge and gage height records are available in the files of the U.S. Geological Survey. Discharge and gage height discharge data can also be accessed online at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/fl/nwis/rt.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - DISCHARGE: Maximum positive discharge, 117 ft³/s May 30, 2016; maximum negative, 107 ft³/s Nov. 20, 2020.
GAGE HEIGHT: Maximum gage height, 2.24 NAVD88 Sept. 28, 2022; minimum, -1.17 ft NAVD88 May 14, 2018.
