    "descript": "On January 25, 2023, a set of five  Sentek\u00ae TriSCAN\u00ae (moisture content, salinity, and temperature) probes were placed in a cross-shore array along a dune at Madeira Beach on the Gulf Coast of Florida. The probes extended down 0.90 meters (m) below the surface (referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 [NAVD88]) and contained 9 sensors each, at depths of 5 \u2013 85 centimeters (10 cm spacing). The sensors collected hourly observations of the volumetric moisture content, volumetric ion content (proxy for salinity), and temperature. The positions of the probes in the dune were selected upon visual inspection of the study site to capture data on the dune face, dune crest, and the back dune region. For more information about the location of the probes, please see the Moisture_Probes_Locations data and metadata files included in this data release. Following erosion of the dune from Hurricane Idalia in late August 2023, the seaward-most two probes were washed away in the storm (Probes 1 and 2) and contain hourly data up to August 25, 2023. The remaining probes (Probes 3, 4, and 5) were manually removed on August 31, 2023, and contain data up to that date.",
