Water and bed surface elevation measurements from five MeOw (Measuring Overwash) stations installed on Smith Island, VA, from 21 August 2019 to 22 November 2019. The five MeOw stations consist of one ultrasonic distance sensor inside a stilling well to measure water levels, and a second attached to an arm extending outwards from the well to measure the elevation of the sediment surface (when dry) or the water surface (when inundated). Note: Station MeOw2 was damaged and produced no data, and so is not included in this dataset.
