Excerpt from Shark Slough Water Level Correlation Analysis: Report T-618
Determining water levels throughout Shark Slough is a difficult task owing to the large extent of the system acres) and much of its area is accessible only by helicopter or airboat. Shark Slough undergoes seasonal variations in stage, areal extent of inundation and hydraulic gradients which necessitate year-round moni toring of water levels. For over two years, members of the South Florida National Park Service Hydrology Research team have monitored a long-term continuously recording water level network as well as a dense supplemental network of staff gauges throughout Shark Slough providing information on water stages at remote locations. Because of the expense involved in monitoring these gauges, it is desirable to be able to estimate water stages at various points in the slough based upon measurements taken at a few representative continuous gauges. This report presents the results of a correlation study of the Shark Slough water level gauge system which provides equations for estimating water levels at most of the staff gauge locations in the slough. Included are suggestions as to which continuous gauges are most valuable for defining water level relations in Shark Slough.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the results of a correlation study of water level gauge systems in the Shark River Slough region of Everglades National Park. Linear regression and correlation analysis were used to compare data from 54 staff gauges and 16 continuously recording gauges. The study determined that continuous recording gauges can be used to estimate water level at the staff gauge locations with an acceptable degree of accuracy. Regression equations and confidence intervals are presented for all station pairings meeting minimum criteria for water level estimation. Correlation analysis also highlights distinctions in water level relations in hydrologic sub-units of Shark Slough and the surrounding area. The information derived from this study can be used to determine which continuous recording gauges are essential for continued hydrologic monitoring in Shark Slough as well as to provide predictive relationships between nearby gauges to decrease the need for wide-scale monitoring. The author's findings enhance our understanding of the complex hydrology of the Shark Slough region, a critical component of the Everglades ecosystem.
