    "descript": "Shoreline position data from the CoastSat methodology were used to describe seasonal cycles of California beaches using time-series analyses. This data release includes summary wave properties offshore of the 7777 CoastSat transects from California beaches. These wave properties are based on the hindcast data generated by the Coastal Data Information Program [CDIP, https:\/\/cdip.ucsd.edu] using the techniques of O\u2019Reilly and others (2016) applied to the California coast and published in the CDIP THREDDS Data Server [https:\/\/thredds.cdip.ucsd.edu\/thredds\/catalog\/cdip\/model\/MOP_alongshore\/catalog.1072 html (Accessed 2 February 2024)].

Distributions are recorded observations or models of sediment size, composition, and deposit thickness in a location or area, including maps of sand resources compiled through observations, interpreted data, remote sensing data, geologic maps, and hydrodynamic models. Assessments are evaluations of total sand availability; models of present sand deposition and resuspension rates; models of difficulty of extraction, relocation, or protection; and models of ecological and economic value. Predictions are the results of models or projections of future distributions, values, or ecological impacts of sand resources; these data include predicted changes to sand beds due to natural and human forces; scenario-based models of sand resource losses or gains under different management strategies of mining, extraction, relocation, dredging-related deposition, beach nourishment, or hard structure placement (for example, on beaches); and projections of the effects of human alterations to sand resources on other resources or on ecological function."
