Description:

Abstract:

This data release provides tidally corrected shoreline positions for three sites of western Long Island, NY (Rockaway Peninsula, Long Beach, Jones Beach Island). 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 (Farris and Webber, 2024). 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 Rockaway Peninsula, Long Beach, and Jones Beach Island in New York. The data are intended to be used to find sediment waves and erosion and accretion patterns, as well as evidence of storm damage and beach nourishments. 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.
