The area from the mouth of the Kuk River to about 8 km to the northeast was measured in August 2009. The area from the mouth of the Kuk River to about 5 km to the northeast was measured in October 2009. The elevation data were collected with Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Positioning System (GPS) systems mounted on all-terrain vehicles. The GPS sampling rate was 1 Hz with vehicle speeds maintained at less than 15 km/hour, resulting in a sample point resolution of 3-5 m. Data are available in a single csv file. Purpose: Data were obtained to provide baseline information and to support the development of numerical models for assessing past and future coastal hazards. These data are intended for policy makers, resource managers, science researchers, students, and the general public. These data are not intended to be used for navigation.

Although the GEOID09 is in reference to the gravimetric mean sea level, it should not be confused with the local MSL. The vertical datum is approximately NAVD88 (as verified by computation with VDATUM from the ITRF elevations (Ellipsoid GRS80 on ITRF00 reference frame).

The vertical positioning errors are estimated to be plus/minus 0.15 m based on system configurations. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Beach and foreshore elevation data were collected with RTK GPS systems mounted on all-terrain vehicles over about 8 km on 16 August 2009. During a second sampling campaign on October 04, 2009, the distance covered was roughly 5 km. The GPS sampling rate was 1 Hz with vehicle speeds maintained at less than 15 km/hour, resulting in a sample point resolution of 3-5 meters. The data were post-processed in the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) datum, GEOID09 for Alaska.
