Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains the easting, northing, and elevation values of the river-right and river-left transect endpoint reference benchmarks (RBM and LBM) from survey transects at 10 survey reaches along the Carmel River, central California. Topographic surveys were completed on these transects during eight summer surveys (in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2021). See accompanying file within this data release for elevation measurements. All data were collected in NAD83 UTM10N horizontal coordinates and NAVD88 Geoid 12B vertical coordinates, in units of meters. The positions of some reference marks were selected using only horizontal reference; the elevation values for these marks are set to a no data value of "NULL" in the data file.
Purpose:
Data were collected to study changes to the Carmel River, central California, associated with the removal of the San Clemente Dam.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: No formal attribute accuracy tests were conducted
Logical_Consistency_Report: No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted
Completeness_Report:
Data set is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. At most survey sites, there are six transects. However, there are only four transect at DeDampierre Lower (DDL) and Schulte Road (SR). Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Initial survey control for all topographic transects was established using static GPS occupations, which have an estimated horizontal accuracy of around 1.5 cm.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Initial survey control for all topographic transects was established using static GPS occupations, which have an estimated vertical accuracy of less than 3 cm. For sites CR, RS, DM and SH vertical measurements were collected using a total station. Repeat check measurements conducted during subsequent surveys on points with established coordinates suggest a vertical precision of less than 2 cm. For sites DDU, DDL, BW, SR, SC and CRO vertical measurements were collected with an auto level and survey rod. The vertical precision of these measurements is estimated to be around 1 cm.

Process_Description:
Topographic measurements were made at four to six transects per site using a total station at sites CR, RS, DM and SH and with an auto level and survey rod at DDU, DDL, BW, SR, SC and CRO. This dataset contains the easting, northing, and elevation values of the right and left endpoint reference marks of each transect. All data were collected in NAD83 UTM10N horizontal coordinates and NAVD88 Geoid 12B vertical coordinates, in units of meters.
