Hudson River Salt Front Data
Tide stage, specific conductance, water temperature, and freshwater inflow at selected Hudson River (New York) gages updated every 4-hours. Water temperature and specific conductance are measured at a depth of 10 feet below NGVD 1929 (mean sea level). These data include PROVISIONAL DATA subject to revision.
This information is made possible by funding from the U.S. Geological Survey Cooperative Water Program and the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, New York State Department of Health, Hudson Valley Regional Council (representing Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Ulster, and Westchester Counties), and the Hudson River-Black River Regulating District.
