Discharge data for the Tamiami Canal covers water years 1986-1999, 2000, and 2001. This dataset from NASA's CEOS_EXTRA organization models flow and transport interactions between canal C-111 and bordering wetlands to support Everglades restoration. It integrates numerical modeling, field instrumentation, and remote sensing for the south Florida ecosystem.
Use Cases
- Simulate discharge rates and sheet flow to Florida Bay embayments using canal flow data.
- Model transport of nutrients like nitrates or phosphates through the coupled canal-wetland system.
- Evaluate the impact of control structures S-18C and S-197 on flow exchange dynamics.
- Integrate physiographic mapping and remote sensing data to quantify landscape features controlling flow.
- Assess water residence times and contaminant transport for restoration strategy evaluation.
Strengths
- Includes discharge data spanning over 15 water years from 1986 to 2001.
- Integrates multiple data sources: numerical models, field instrumentation, and remote sensing.
Limitations
- Specific row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable for assessment.
- Geographic focus is limited to the C 111 basin and Tamiami Canal in south Florida.
