Vertical profile sediment temperature and pressure head data collected at Hen Cove, Pocasset, Massachusetts, 2022

This data release provides saturated sediment temperatures from vertical temperature profilers, pressure head data from co-located pizometers, and estimates of 1D groundwater flux using a recursive-estimation framework to infer groundwater/surface-water exchange based on the collected temperature time-series (approximate 1,6,16,26cm depths, AlphaMachX vertical temperature profilers) from below the sediment/water interface. A heat-transport problem was formulated as a state-space model (SSM), in which the spatial derivatives in the convection/conduction equation are approximated using finite differences. The SSM is calibrated to estimate time-varying specific discharge using the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Extended Rauch-Tung-Striebel Smoother (ERTSS) algorithms. These algorithms are described in McAliley et al., 2024 (https://doi.org/10.1029/2021WR030443) and relevant algorithm has been publicly released previously on ScienceBase (https://doi.org/10.5066/P99DBTKT). This data release contains 3 zipped folders, EKF_ERTSS_results.zip that contains EKF and ERTSS groundwater flux estimates, Temperature_observations.zip that contains raw observed temperature time series, and Pressure_data.zip that contains raw observations of pressure from piezometers adjacent to vertical temperature profilers. Additionally, water pressure transducers (Onset HOBO model U20L) were suspended at two depths within 2" steel pipes with 20cm screen drivepoints that were driven vertically into bed sediments adjacent to locations TX129 and TX132.
