Summary
Natural flooded caves were accessed along the coastline of the Yucatan Peninsula (Quintana Roo, Mexico) to investigate how regional meteorologic and hydrologic processes control solute transport, mixing, and salinization in the coastal aquifer. Instruments were deployed to monitor environmental parameters within the Ox Bel Ha Cave System accessed through the sinkhole Cenote Bang. These efforts resulted in temporal hydrologic records of specific conductivity, water level (pressure), dissolved oxygen, flow velocity, water temperature, and acoustic data from March 25, 2018 to August 1, 2018. The records encompass dry (November-March) and wet (April-October) seasons and include the impact of precipitation delivered by Tropical Storm Carlotta during June 2018. Field activities were carried out by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program (CMHRP).

These data are used to investigate how regional meteorology and hydrology control mixing and salinization in flooded cave passages within a coastal aquifer.
