Description:

Abstract:

This data release provides tidally corrected shoreline positions for five groin field sites of around the United States (Ventura, CA, Newport Beach, CA , Santa Monica, CA, Long Branch, NJ, Sandwich, MA). The CSVs are derived from the software CoastSeg (Fitzpatrick and others, 2024). CoastSeg collects satellite images from Google Earth Engine to create shoreline data along with user supplied inputs based on the CoastSat methodology (Vos and others, 2019). Data have been tidally corrected based on beach foreshore slopes. The data can be viewed in either a text or spreadsheet program.

Purpose:

These shoreline positions were used to observe the change in shoreline position over the entire observed record for groin field sites across the country. The data are intended to be used to find erosion and accretion patterns, as well as observing if groin fields behave similarly at varying locations. This data set can be used both in geographic information systems (GIS) as well as other software such as MATLAB or Python.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Attribute values are estimated such as shoreline position based on satellite imagery. Vos and others (2019) assessed this method which compared to ground-based surveys at Duck, North Carolina. The authors are using a cross-shore horizontal error of 10 meters root mean squared error (RMSE) in most locations. In more dynamic areas such as river mouths, capes, and the ends of spits, the uncertainty is greater, and all positions should be inspected further.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Data have undergone quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) and fall within expected ranges.

Completeness_Report: Data are considered complete for the information presented.

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

CSV files for Ventura, CA, Newport Beach, CA, Santa Monica, CA, Long Branch, NJ, and Sandwich, MA from 1984-2022. The first line of the CSV is a header line containing the names of each column. CSVs contain the date, transect ID, transect staring latitude point, transect starting longitude point, transect ending latitude point, transect ending longitude point, tide, cross distance, shoreline point latitude, shoreline point longitude, slope, and reference elevation of each point derived from the satellite imagery. Files are named by region and ROI number if the region has more than one ROI. ROIs are numbered from west to east or south to north following the numbering given by CoastSeg.
