On January 25, 2023, a set of five Sentek® TriSCAN® (moisture content, salinity, and temperature) probes were placed in a cross-shore array along a dune at Madeira Beach on the Gulf Coast of Florida. The probes extended down 0.90 meters (m) below the surface (referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 [NAVD88]) and contained 9 sensors each, at depths of 5 – 85 centimeters (10 cm spacing). The sensors collected hourly observations of the volumetric moisture content, volumetric ion content (proxy for salinity), and temperature. The positions of the probes in the dune were selected upon visual inspection of the study site to capture data on the dune face, dune crest, and the back dune region. |
