The top of the rod lies near the sediment surface, with a receiver end. A Surface Elevation Table is a portable mechanical leveling device that attaches to the receiving end at the top of the deep rod.  The SET arm includes a bubble level and a notched collar that allows for the arm to be aligned precisely and repeatedly in the cardinal directions.\nSETs were installed as triplicates in Reference, Phase II, and as north-south pairs in the 2009 restoration area (Units 1-4). Each SET location was read repeatedly at regular, at least annual intervals.  Reading SETs consisted of measurements for nine pins facing the four cardinal directions for a total of 36 measurements per SET, per sampling event. Each pin was measured to the nearest millimeter.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9R0HL3R", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.671acdb5d34efed5620fd181.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_671acdb5d34efed5620fd181", "keyword": ["Emergent Tidal Marsh", "Puget Sound", "Salt Marsh", "USGS:671acdb5d34efed5620fd181", "ecology", "elevation", "environment", "land surveying", "wetland ecosystems"], "modified": "2024-11-12T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-122.74338, 47.05328, -122.65961, 47.12248", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Surface Elevation Table Data at the Nisqually River Delta, Washington"}
