Water-Year Summary for Site 01311875
Satellite and telephone elevation, velocity, and velocity-sensor depth telemeters at station. Gaps in elevation record caused by equipment malfunctions are filled with estimated data from nearby gage 01311850 Jamaica Bay at Inwood NY.
Flow at this site is affected significantly by astronomical tides. Discharge computed with a sidelooking acoustic velocity meter. Blanks in discharge tables are due to interruption of record. By convention, the U.S. Geological Survey has established ebb (seaward) flows as positive flows and flood (landward) flows as negative flows. Unfiltered 6-minute stage, velocity, and discharge data are available upon request.
