Description

Beach elevations were surveyed quarterly between January 2008 and July 2018 on cross-shore transects from the back beach to about 8 m water depth. Subaerial and submarine portions of the transects were surveyed with Global Positioning System (GPS) equipped all-terrain vehicle (ATV), and dolly or Jet Ski respectively. The subaerial portions were classified as sand, cobble, or bedrock using manual identification and a recording switch during the ATV surveys. Ground type was not identified in dolly or Jet Ski surveys.

Scope And Content

Each folder contains 1. matlab file, and 2. processed data (.mat file). When running the matlab file on Matlab, it produces figure/s showing cobble distributions and their correlations with wave conditions, and back beach cobble morphology.
