Water level is monitored automatically at the Automatic Chamber site in the 'Rylekæret' fen (see GeoBasis Zackenberg manual).
Automatic measurements of the water level are recorded every 15th minute during the ice free season, using pressure transducers.
The measurements available here are related to the soil surface, the position of which changes over the season, due to swelling and drying.
The water level is measured in two places, in the vicinity of chamber 1 (K1) and chamber 6 (K6), see abovementioned diagram. K1 is located in the wet continous part of the fen, whereas K6 is located in a relatively drier part of the fen. The two locations are approximately 10 meters apart.
Automatic water level measurements are missing for 2013, as both divers installed at the site failed.
