Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.5066/P14VFVGZ Description: Abstract: This data release provides tidally corrected shoreline positions for three sites of western Long Island, NY (Rockaway Peninsula, Long Beach, and Jones Beach Island). GeoJSON files are derived from CoastSeg version 1.1.35 (Fitzpatrick and others, 2024) with settings derived from config files. These files contain the region of interests (ROIs), transects, and reference shorelines for each section. 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). Data can be viewed in a GIS software such as QGIS or ArcGIS. Purpose: These GeoJSON files 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. Each ROI from CoastSeg has its own GeoJSON. 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.

Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 19840101 Ending_Date: 20221231 Currentness_Reference: Years of available satellite imagery used to determine shoreline positions. Date range of January 1, 1984 to December 31, 2022 was used within CoastSeg (Fitzpatrick and others, 2024) to download satellite images from Google Earth Engine.

Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2019.104528 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.
