    <descript>
      <abstract>This dataset contains shoreline positions derived from available Landsat satellite imagery for two states (Oregon, and Washington) along the U.S. Pacific coast for the time period 1984 to 2023. An open-source toolbox, CoastSat (Vos and others, 2019a and 2019b), was used to classify coastal Landsat imagery and detect shorelines at the sub-pixel scale. Resulting shorelines are presented in CSV format. Significant uncertainty is associated with the locations of shorelines in extremely dynamic regions, including at the locations of river mouths, tidal inlets, capes, and ends of spits. These data are readily viewable in a text or spreadsheet editor. For technical users and researchers, data can be ingested into Global Mapper or QGIS or similar for more detailed analysis. Similar shoreline positions for North Carolina and South Carolina are available from Barnard and others, 2023 at https://doi.org/10.5066/P9W91314. Similar shoreline positions for Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida are available from Buscombe and others, 2024 at https://doi.org/10.5066/P1WFZXDM.</abstract>
      <purpose>These data provide estimates of automatically detected coastal shoreline position for resource managers, science researchers, students, and the general public. These data can be used with geographic information systems, shoreline evolution models, or other software to assist identifying and assessing possible areas of vulnerability, along with appropriate inclusion of uncertainty. These data are not intended to be used for navigation or in lieu of definitive shoreline datasets.</purpose>

      <attraccr>Attribute values are estimates of shoreline position based on satellite imagery. The accuracy of this method was assessed by Vos and others (2019a), who compared data with ground-based surveys at Duck, North Carolina. In line with these estimates, authors are using a cross-shore horizontal error of 10 m (root mean square error) in most locations. In dynamic locations, including areas such as river mouths, capes, and ends of spits, uncertainty is greater, and positions should be inspected and used with care.</attraccr>

        <procdesc>Set up CoastSat toolbox (Vos and others, 2019a and 2019b) for implementation along the region of interest. Toolbox set up in python 3.10 to run for geography spanning coastline for the U.S. Pacific Northwest coast, for the time period of 01 March 1984 to 31 December 2023. Beach slopes used for the tidal corrections were automatically derived from the raw satellite shorelines using the method explained by Vos and others (2020). CoastSat operates on the same transects as the CoSMoS-COAST model for the region (Vitousek and others, 2023), modified from the transects of the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS; Himmelstoss and others, 2021). The transects were grouped (including a 500 m lateral buffer) into several different bounding boxes for which the satellite imagery was extracted. The bounding boxes had an average size of 16 km2 (a maximum of 32 km2 and a minimum of 1 km2).</procdesc>

Only cloudless imagery or imagery with less than 50 percent cloud cover was used. Imagery had horizontal resolution of 30 m, which was pan-sharpened to 15 m. Tidal corrections were applied using tide heights estimated from the FES 2014 Tidal model.</procdesc>

        <procdesc>Checked output to ensure quality results. These shorelines represent the automatically detected shoreline segments as identified by CoastSat (no other adjustments). The accuracy of the satellite-derived shoreline (SDS) for this area was addressed in Vos and others (2019a), who compared SDS observations with ground-based surveys at Duck, NC. They found an RMS accuracy of about 9 m (root mean square error). Lacking additional, sufficient ground-based observations for the purposes of further robust error estimates, authors use an error of 10 m (in root mean square error) for the SDS dataset. In dynamic locations, including areas such as river mouths, capes, and ends of spits, uncertainty is greater, and locations should be inspected and used with care.</procdesc>
