NYU FloodSense Gowanus canal mounted sensor depth

<p>Water depth level&nbsp;in mm from a sensor mounted mounted above the Gowanus Canal, Brooklyn, NY (40.674490, -73.994458).</p> <p>The sensor is designed to detect flood water that fills the street and blocks vehicle and pedestrian&nbsp;traffic, as well as depositing micro-organisms on the street. This one is used for data validation.</p> <p>The sensor transmits its data via LoRaWAN and is equipped with a solar panel for continuous operation.</p> <p>Data is collected at ~5min intervals. Time fields are in local time (New York).&nbsp;Time fields are in local time (New York). Date format is: 2020-10-04 20:11:45.742594232-04:00</p> <p>Two flood events have been observed in this dataset between these date ranges:</p> <ol> <li> <p>&quot;2020-11-15 19:37:00.000000000-05:00&quot; to &quot;2020-11-16 00:30:00.000000000-05:00&quot;</p> </li> <li> <p>&quot;2020-11-30 10:20:00.000000000-05:00&quot; to &quot;2020-11-30 13:30:00.000000000-05:00&quot;</p> </li> </ol> <p>One type&nbsp;of erroneous data has been observed:</p> <ul> <li>There are ~1% rises in distance measures on days with sun which suggests that the&nbsp;distance sensor is affected by direct sunlight</li> </ul> <p>This data is prelimary and is for prototyping purposes. Not to be used as a reliable data source as it is.</p> <p>This dataset will be updated when more data is collected.</p> <p>Please see our github org for sensor information and build instructions:&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/floodsense">github.com/floodsense</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
