Abstract:
Scientist from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) collected xyz locations for 53 Ground Control Points (GCP) in North Topsail Beach and within the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base, North Carolina, June 12-14, 2019. During this study, Global Positing System (GPS) data were collected using a single Spectra SP80 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver affixed to a 2-meter (m) survey pole. Additional attributes pertaining to each survey point have also been provided in 2019_330_FA_GCP_Final.csv as well as all photographs taken during data collection. Data are provided in the native format of the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) International Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2008 (ITRF08) ellipsoid heights, as well as in the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) ellipsoid and NAD83 North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), GEOID12B.
Purpose:
To georectify aerial imagery taken post-Hurricane Florence (landfall September 14, 2018), scientists from the USGS SPCMSC conducted a GPS survey of 53 individual GCP locations (39 pre-determined sites, 14 opportunistically-derived sites) in North Topsail Beach and within the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base on June 12-14, 2019, during Field Activity Number (FAN) 2019-330-FA. This dataset, 2019_330_FA_GCP.zip and all other provided data, consist of GPS horizontal and vertical position as well as elevation data collected within the residential areas of North Topsail Beach and along Onslow Beach within the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base, using a single GPS receiver performing 10-minute static occupations. Additional survey and data details are available from the Coastal and Marine Geoscience Data System (CMGDS) at,
https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2019-330-FA.
Supplemental_Information:
For the GPS data, the differential positioning was obtained through post-processing the base station data to the rover. ExifTool (version 4.0) was used to add the following to the header of each photograph: time of collection, GPS latitude, GPS longitude, keywords, credit, artist (photographer), caption, copyright, and contact information. Photographs can be opened with any JPEG-compatible image viewer.
