Water Level Data for the Indian River Lagoon, 2023-2025

Water level data collected at the Smithsonian Marine Station in Fort Pierce, Florida, from 2023 to 2025. The 17.7 MB dataset was uploaded by Dean Janiak and last updated on May 1, 2026. Measurements were taken using OTT Compact Bubbler System and cs475a2 Radar Gauge instrumentation at coordinates 27.460121 N, 80.31134 W.

Use Cases

• Modeling tidal patterns and water level fluctuations based on the described time-series measurements.
• Calibrating hydrological models for the Indian River Lagoon using the described instrumentation data.
• Assessing coastal flooding or storm surge impacts based on the water level time series.
• Analyzing long-term water level trends in a coastal estuary based on the multi-year data collection.

Strengths

• Data covers a multi-year period from 2023 to 2025, providing temporal context.
• Specific geographic coordinates (27.460121 N, 80.31134 W) are provided for precise location.
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
