High-Flow Field Experiments to Inform Everglades Restoration: Experimental Data 2010 to 2022 (ver. 2.0, October 2023)

Data were collected between 2010 and 2022 in a research area of the Everglades known as the Decompartmentalization Physical Model (DPM), a wetland area in the central Everglades that includes canals and levees bordering Water Conservation Area 3A (WCA-3A) to the northwest and Water Conservation Area 3B (WCA-3B) to the southeast. During the twelve-year study period more than ten major controlled flow releases occurred by opening the S-152 culverts on canal L-67A that released experimental high flows through the wetland. Data consist of water levels (continuous and discrete), water velocity (continuous and discrete), bed shear stress (discrete), suspended sediment concentration (discrete), dissolved phosphorus concentration, load, and flux (discrete), suspended phosphorus concentration, load and flux (discrete), grainsize distribution (continuous and discrete), related biogeochemistry (discrete), water quality parameters (continuous), temperature profiles (continuous), microtopography (discrete), and vegetation community type and stem density (discrete).
