Tide elevation and velocity comparison
Detailed Description
Graph showing tidal water-surface elevation and measured water velocity - in feet per second. Data for a two-day period to illustrate peak water-surface elevation and peak velocity typically do not occur at the same time and the offset pattern is not consistently repeatable.

Tidal Discharge at USGS Streamgages
New Jersey has an extensive coastline with several rivers and streams close enough to interact with the bays and ocean. This interaction causes many waterways to be affected by the tidal actions of the ocean. Because there are no dams along these rivers, this effect can be felt some distance upstream requiring specialized observational techniques to measure and calculate discharge from these...
