Description:
Abstract:
This portion of the data release presents the locations of the temporary ground control points (GCPs) used for the structure-from-motion (SfM) processing of the imagery collected during an unmanned aerial system (UAS) survey of the intertidal zone at Post Point, Bellingham Bay, WA on 2019-06-06. Nineteen temporary ground control points (GCPs) were distributed throughout each survey area to establish survey control. The GCPs consisted of a combination of small square tarps with black-and-white cross patterns and "X" marks placed on the ground using temporary chalk. The GCP positions were measured using post-processed kinematic (PPK) GPS, using corrections from a GPS base station located approximately 5 kilometers from the study area. The GCP positions are presented in a comma-delimited text file.
Purpose:
These data were collected to characterize the morphology, substrate composition and roughness of intertidal areas to support modeling of coastal storm and wave impacts with sea-level rise as part of the USGS Puget Sound Coastal Storm Modeling System (PS-CoSMoS). The data are also intended to be used to model and evaluate sediment transport and its effects on coastal habitats, a focus of the USGS Coastal Habitats in Puget Sound Project (CHIPS) and its partners to inform resource management and adaptive planning for our Nation's coasts.

Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
GCP positions were measured using survey-grade dual-frequency GPS receivers operating in post-processed-kinematic (PPK) mode. The GPS receivers were placed on short fixed-height tripods and set to occupy each GCP for a minimum occupation time of one minute. The PPK corrections were referenced to a Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) operated by the Washington State Reference Network (WSRN) located approximately 5 kilometers from the study area ('BELI'). The mean reported horizontal precision of these measurements was 0.019 meters, (standard deviation of 0.004), suggesting a total horizontal accuracy of about 0.020 meters. Uncertainty in the horizontal positions associated with tripod centering, antenna height measurement errors, and errors from the weight of the tripod settling onto the GCP tarp during data collection, and possible subsequent rebound of the center of the tarp after removal is unknown.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
GCP positions were measured using survey-grade dual-frequency GPS receivers operating in post-processed-kinematic (PPK) mode. The GPS receivers were placed on short fixed-height tripods and set to occupy each GCP for a minimum occupation time of one minute. The PPK corrections were referenced to a Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) operated by the Washington State Reference Network (WSRN) located approximately 5 kilometers from the study area ('BELI'). The mean reported horizontal precision of these measurements was 0.026 meters, (standard deviation of 0.005), suggesting a total vertical accuracy of about 0.030 meters. Uncertainty in the vertical positions associated with the weight of the tripod settling onto the GCP tarp during data collection, and possible subsequent vertical rebound of the center of the tarp after removal is unknown.

Process_Description:
Ground control was established using ground control points (GCPs) consisting of small square tarps with black-and-white cross patterns and temporary chalk 'X' marks placed on the ground surface throughout the survey area. The GCP positions were measured using survey-grade GPS receivers operating in post-processed-kinematic (PPK) mode. The GPS receivers were placed on short fixed-height tripods and set to occupy each GCP for a minimum occupation time of one minute. The PPK corrections were referenced to a Continuously Operating Reference (CORS) GPS base station ('BELI') located approximately 5 kilometers from the study area operated by the Washington State Reference Network (WSRN).
