[Marsh channel monitoring data] - Continuously monitored water quality parameters from three open-water sites in a tidal salt marsh channel in New Jersey, USA from June 2021 to June 2024 (Sediment transport and water quality in watersheds and coastlines of the United States)

Listed in Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) ERDDAP

This dataset includes high-frequency measurements of key physical and biogeochemical parameters (depth, salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration and % saturation, pH, turbidity, chlorophyll a) collected at 10-minute intervals from three open-water platforms in a salt marsh tidal channel.

Description

The marsh is located landward of Seven Mile Island, a populated barrier island in Cape May County, New Jersey, and is a part of the Seven Mile Island Innovation Laboratory (SMIIL), a research initiative focused on advancing dredging and marsh restoration practices.

Data were collected using In-Situ Aqua TROLL 600 multiparameter sondes, which were cleaned, recalibrated, and swapped every 4–12 weeks to enable continuous monitoring. Turbidity and chlorophyll a data are included but have highly variable coverage. The dataset comprises 18 deployments, which have been appended and quality controlled.

Meteorological data (air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure) from a centrally located Young ResponseONE Weather Transmitter and Onset HOBO water level logger, along with ERA5 wind speed data, are provided for the same time period. This high-resolution, multi-year dataset supports the analysis of aquatic ecosystem metabolism and environmental variability in a marsh-dominated estuary, a system type that remains underrepresented in long-term, high-frequency monitoring efforts.
