Storm-Surge Sensors

USGS Storm-Surge Program Small self-contained water-level sensors with data logging capability Deploy hours before landfall Network clusters of units located opportunistically on bridges, piers, power-poles Record data every 2-30 seconds for 3-6 days Retrieve after storm and “level-in” to datum Some real-time reporting
