Ground-surface elevation, vegetation, and land type within approximately 10 and 400 meters of 176 water-level gaging stations in the Greater Everglades, Florida 2005-10

The Everglades Depth Estimation Network (EDEN) is an integrated network of water-level gages, interpolation models, web applications, and decision support tools that generates daily water-level data and derived hydrologic data across the freshwater part of south Florida's Greater Everglades. EDEN provides continuous daily water-level and depth surfaces on a 400-meter grid using an interpolation algorithm, a network of over 200 gaging stations, and a digital elevation model (DEM). The water-level surfaces cover an area of 9,132 square kilometers and the water depth surfaces cover an area of 7,491 square kilometers. For a subset of gaging stations, ground elevation measurements were taken to better understand the elevation in the area surrounding the gaging station. The mean, maximum, and minimum ground elevation measurements are provided for the area within a 10-meter radius of the water level gaging station. The major vegetation community type was also recorded. Within a 400-meter radius, a secondary vegetation community type was recorded when possible, along with mean, maximum, and minimum ground elevation measurements.
