This dataset contains a set of cross-shore profiles covering 16 dates from October 28 2012 to October 07 2014. As part of the assessment of beach and dune morphologic change associated with Hurricane Sandy and the series of winter storms that followed, DGPS elevation data were collected along ten shore-perpendicular profiles extending from just inland of the crest of the dune to the low-tide swash zone. Profile elevations were surveyed one day prior to landfall (October 28, 2012), three and four days immediately after the storm (November 01/02 2012), and at monthly and bi-monthly intervals for 24 months (to October 2014) in order to capture both the initial impact of the event and the ongoing recovery of the beach system. Monitoring is ongoing, and this data series will be updated as future surveys are completed. Purpose: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) mounted a substantial effort in response to Hurricane Sandy (October 29, 2012) including an assessment of the morphological impacts to the beach and dune system at Fire Island, New York. Field surveys of the beach and dunes collected just prior to and after U.S. landfall were used to quantify change in several focus areas. In conjunction with the recurrent continuous alongshore data, cross-shore profile surveys were collected to assess the positional changes to dune, beach, and swash zone morphology and to calculate beach volume and volume change. Beach volumes were calculated by integrating the area below each profile using the lowest elevation value common to all surveys at each profile.

Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Online Publisher: ELSERVIER Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0025-3227(02)00497-8 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The data provided here is a compilation of cross-shore profiles that were derived using USGS-specific field collection methods over the course of 24 months following hurricane Sandy which made landfall in New Jersey on October 29 2012. Vertical attributes were automatically generated in the field, and addtional attributes are added as needed. Logical_Consistency_Report: Cross-shore profiles were quality checked for accuracy. Completeness_Report: This cross-shore profile series is complete and contains all available segments derived from Pre- and Post-Sandy data collection efforts. These data adequately represented the cross-shore position of each transect at the time of the survey. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: To estimate vertical uncertainties that result from slight variations in the path along which data were collected from one survey to another, a variance methodology (Plant et al., 2002) was developed by creating an interpolated continuous 2-D beach surface from the raw GPS xyz data for each survey date. Individual profile elevation data are compared to the interpolated surface and a RMSE error was calculated based on the elevation differences between the interpolated surface and the data points. Average vertical error for individual surveys ranged from 2-11cm with an average error for all surveys and profile locations of 4.9cm (RMSE = 5.3). Equipment limitations contribute an additional 1.4cm of vertical uncertainty on average for all survey dates (RMSE = 3.4), resulting in an approximate profile uncertainty of 6.3 cm for reported profile elevation data. Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: 0.6 m Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation: The horizontal positional accuracy is found as the quadrature summation of the errors described in the positonal accuracy report. The value is found by taking the square root of (5.3^2 +1.4^2 + 3.4^2) = 6.3 cm or 0.6 m. Lineage: Source_Information: Source_Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: US.

For example, from the file Oct282012_ALL.shp data for each profile location will be selected and exported to generate 10 new shapefiles for each profile location (P07-P11, P22-P26) ex:P07_Oct282012.shp. (2)From this selection, the profile data is cleaned to remove any long shore data and reduce the profile data to one continuous line (often the cross-shore data is collected in two parallel paths, both up and down the beach face). (3)Cross-shore data is saved as: P07_Oct282012EDITS.shp Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: cross-shore shapefile (ex: Oct282012_ALL.shp) Process_Date: 20140810 Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: edited cross-shore shapefile (ex: P07_Oct282012EDITS.shp) Process_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Organization_Primary: Contact_Organization: U.S. Geological Survey - St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center Contact_Person: Rachel E. Henderson (Hehre) Contact_Address: Address_Type: mailing address Address: 600 4th Street South City: St. Petersburg State_or_Province: FL Postal_Code: 33701 Country: USA Contact_Voice_Telephone: (727)-502-8000 Contact_Electronic_Mail_Address: rehenderson@usgs.gov Process_Step: Process_Description: PROFILE TRANSLATION: Prior to collection, the start position of cross-shore profile data is determined using a hand held GPS with a map of an existing original profile. The field team attempts to follow the cross-shore position of this original profile. However, a review of the cross-shore data collection shows the filed collected data can vary widely (10-40m) from the original profile. So a method was developed to "translate" a distance along original profile measurements to the new cross-shore data, so all profile data (new and old) could be plotted together. CALCULATE DISATANCE ALONG ORIGINAL PROFILE: (1)Transects spaced 1m apart were generated, using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS version 4.3, Thieler et al, 2009) cast from a baseline oriented roughly parallel to the cross-shore data and perpendicular to the shoreline, such that the transects would then parallel prominent features of the beach - dune crest, berm crest etc. The transects intersect the original profile and all subsequent cross-shore profiles, covering the entire area of original and new data collection. File saved as Profile Name_trans, or P07_trans.shp (2)Points were created at the intersection of the original profile and the transects: ArcToolbox>>Analysis Tools>>Overlay>>Intersect>> Inputs: Original Profile and transects, Join Attributes: ALL, XY Tolerance: 0.2 m, Output Type: POINT, OUTPUT file P07_trans_intersect.shp (point shapefile). (3)Calculate the distance of each transect intersection point along the original profile (profiles converted to routes: Linear Referencing Tools>>Create route) Distance along route (DAR) will be calculated and saved into attribute MEAS: ArcToolbox >>Linear Referencing Tools>>Locate features along routes: Input: P07_trans_intersect.shp, Input Route Features: original profile (route), Output Event Table: P07_intersect_DAR. (4)Join P07_intersect_DAR table to P07_trans.shp and add a new field to P07_trans to copy MEAS to: DistalRout. This file will be used for the following steps. ADD DISTANCE ALONG PROFILE TO CROSS-SHORE DATA: (1)Use spatial join to join P07_trans.shp and the cross-shore profile data P07_Oct282012EDITS.shp into a new shapefile, P07_Oct282012dist.shp. This will merge all the attributes of each dataset together. In the process of the join, an additional field Distance is automatically added to P07_Oct282012dist.shp, which indicates the distance of the cross-shore data points to the transect. As the point spacing of the field collected data is denser than the 1m transect spacing, multiple points in P07_Oct282012dist.shp will display the same value for DistAlRout. (2)Open P07_Oct282012dist.dbf in Microsoft Excel, and edit to contain ONLY site, easting, northing, NAVD88, DistAlRout, and Distance. A new field Date is added to the first column, and manually entered to reflect the date of the data (ie. 10/28/2012). All other fields are deleted. (3)Use Excel tools (Data>>Sort) to sort the data by DistAlRout and (adding a level) Distance. (4)Remove duplicates(Data>>Remove Duplicates) in DistAlRout (as described there are more than one data point for each DistAlRout value) and save file as and excel 97-2003 workbook extension .xls (.xlsx can not be opened in ArcMap): P07_Oct282012dist.xls (5)Using ESRI ArcMap v10.0, add XY data (File>>Add Data>> Add XY data) and select P07_Oct282012dist.xls with X: easting, Y:northing and Z: NAVD88. Save resultant event layer to a new shapefile P07_28Oct2012.shp (6)Repeat this step for all cross-shore profile dates at each profile location.
