Warrick, 2024, Shoreline data for Ocean Beach, San Francisco, California, 2004 to 2021: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P13CAWLM. Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.5066/P13CAWLM Description: Abstract: This dataset contains historical shoreline positions (MHW - local Mean High Water, and MSL - local Mean Sea Level) that span 17 years, from 2004 to 2021, for Ocean Beach, San Francisco, California, USA. Shorelines were extracted from topographic elevation data collected by the USGS. Shoreline position data can be used to calculate rates of shoreline change (accretion or erosion) and to evaluate the performance of shoreline change models. Purpose: Coastal erosion is a persistent process along most open-ocean shores of the United States and affects both developed and natural coastlines. Ocean Beach is subject to strong seasonal wave energy and complex alongshore transport due to variable bathymetry and tidal currents associated with San Francisco Bay, resulting in variable erosion/accretion response alongshore, including a persistent erosion "hotspot" in the southern portion. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is responsible for conducting research on coastal change hazards, understanding the processes that cause coastal change, and developing models to forecast future change. To understand and adapt to shoreline change, accurate information regarding the past and present configurations of the shoreline is essential. As more data are gathered, periodic updates will be made to this dataset, providing information that can be used in multidisciplinary assessments of global change impacts on shoreline change.

West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208 Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.2112/JCOASTRES-D-11-00212.1 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The data provided here are a compilation of all available shorelines from 17 years of beach topographic surveys. Accuracy estimates reflect positional and measurement uncertainties calculated during the process of extracting the MHW and MSL contours from the topographic survey data as described in the process steps, including quality assurance procedures. Logical_Consistency_Report: Individual shoreline positions were quality checked for reasonableness (position relative to prior and subsequent shorelines) during data processing and shoreline extraction. Completeness_Report: Dataset is considered complete for the information presented. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The horizontal accuracy of shoreline positions is affected by both the measurement uncertainty of the underlying point data and topographic survey methodology. For Ocean Beach MHW shorelines the mean positional uncertainty is about 0.75m (Barnard and others, 2012). The mean positional uncertainty for MSL shorelines has not been calculated but should be comparable to that calculated for MHW shorelines. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) point data were collected along the beach face using a GNSS receiver with an antenna mounted a fixed height above the beach surface. Process_Date: 20211206 Process_Step: Process_Description: Point data elevations were adjusted in ArcGIS for the antenna offset to obtain beach surface elevations and reviewed for overall data quality. Process_Date: 20211208 Process_Step: Process_Description: Quality-controlled point data were processed in ArcGIS to obtain a triangular interpolated network (TIN) which then was converted to a 2m grid of the 3-D beach surface. Process_Date: 20211208 Process_Step: Process_Description: Local MHW (1.619m NAVD88) and MSL (0.975m NAVD88) shoreline contours were extracted from the 2m grid. Note that the alongshore extent of contours depends on the availability of survey data in the appropriate elevation range for some surveys contours are not continuous along the entire study area, and for four surveys (12/10/06, 1/16/07, 5/7/13, and 1/25/16) no MSL contour is available at all. Process_Date: 20211208 Process_Step: Process_Description: Contours were cleaned to remove portions extrapolated outside the point coverage or through non-beach features, or to interpolate across short gaps.

Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: The entity and attribute information provided here describes the tabular data associated with the data set. Please review the detailed descriptions that are provided (the individual attribute descriptions) for information on the values that appear as fields/table entries of the data set. Note that attribute values listed above are for data visualization using geospatial software; attribute values may read differently in other platforms. Note also that the Date attribute format of MM/DD/YYYY is based on shapefiles generated in ArcGIS and is different from the folder data convention (YYYYMMDD) which was used to facilitate folder sorting by date Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: The entity and attribute information were generated by the individual and/or agency identified as the originator of the data set. Please review the rest of the metadata record for additional details and information.
