Many possibilities, including the depth of the two gauges, instrument calibration, water turbulance, the exact time of the measurements, the amount of sunlight on the area just before the measurement, the surface conditions (temp, humidity), and so on.

I think better data is needed before anyone can draw any conclusions. Specifically, need to collect measurements at the same times over a long period of time, and we need to calibrate (not only the instrument, but the all the other conditions around the instrument). With a lot more data, you can perform a good analysis.
