Water Budget data

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

The data set contains data for vapor pressure gradient, air temperature gradient, soil heat flux, water temperature top and bottom, net solar radiation, water level, air temperature, wind direction and speed, relative humidity, and pyronometer.

Description

Knowledge of the water budget of the Everglades (south Florida) system is crucial to the success of restoration and management actions. Although the water budget is simple in concept, it is difficult to assess quantitatively.

Models used to simulate changes in water levels and vegetation that might result from various management actions need to account for all components of the water budget accurately. In 1995, a study to measure and model ET in the Everglades was begun as part of the US Geological Survey South Florida Ecosystem Program. The principle objective of the study is to develop an understanding of ET within the Everglades drainage unit, excluding agricultural and brackish environments.

To achieve this, a network of eight ET-measurement sites was established, representing the various types of hydrologic and vegetative environments. Continuous measurement of ET at these sites for at least a 2-year period (October 1995 through September 1997) is being used to develop regional models of ET that can be used to estimate ET at other times throughout the Everglades.
