These water level data were collected during 2018-2020 from a sandy subterranean estuary (STE) located in Gloucester Point, Virginia, USA using HOBO pressure transducers deployed in groundwater wells. The pressure transducers measured pressure and water temperature every 15 minutes when sampling and were deployed seasonally.
These water level data were collected during 2018-2020 from a sandy subterranean estuary (STE) located in Gloucester Point, Virginia, USA (37.248884, -76.505324). HOBO pressure transducers were deployed in groundwater wells installed at the Gloucester Point beach along the mid-tide and low-tide lines of the beach. Three pressure transducer wells were constructed out of PVC with 10 centimeters (cm) of slotted PVC centered at 50, 70, and 100 cm depths along the mid-tide line and one at 100 cm depth along the low tide line. The mid-tide line wells were 1 meter apart from one another across the beach face along the mid-tide line. The 100c m wells at the mid- and low-tide lines were 3 meters apart. The pressure transducers measured pressure and water temperature every 15 minutes when sampling and were deployed seasonally. Pressure was converted to water level using the HOBOware software and by manually measuring water depth in the well at deployment and recollection.
