Fork Hamock Creek Bridge in the city of Aripeka. Mounted on the bridge
decking is an instrument tower housing: Wind Speed/Direction (approximately
34' above MHHW), Relative Humidity/Air Temperature, Barometric Pressure,
and Precipitation sensors. Marine instrumentation includes Water Level,
Temperature, and Salinity. Data is hourly transmitted via the GOES
satellite. Site funding is via a cooperative effort between the University
of South Florida's/College of Marine Science's COMPS program, the Emergency
