  • The in situ data set comprises water level time series data from four VorteX.io micro-gauges, and water level profiles from two series of drone flights over the Severn and Rhone regions, as follows:

  • Water Level Time Series from VorteX.io micro-gauges.
    • Newport (06/09/22 onwards)
    • Weston Super Mare (06/09/22 onwards) - replaced on 06/04/23
    • Port St Louis du Rhone (27/07/22 onwards)

FFSAR processed altimeter data

  • The FFSAR processed altimeter data sets comprise along-track data, for each pass of the Sentinel 3B satellite along the selected track across the Severn or Rhone regions; and time series data at selected points on the satellite tracks in each region

  • Along-track data
    • Severn Estuary Sentinel 3B track 265
    • Rhone delta Sentinel 3B tracks 179 and 199

  • Time Series data
    • Severn Estuary
      • "Tributary" - Entrance to the River Usk at Newport
      • "Open"- Centre of Severn Estuary (5km NNE of Weston Super Mare)
    • Rhone Delta.
      • Port St Louis - River North.
      • Port St Louis - River South.
      • Fos sur Mer - open
