Abstract:
Hurricane Sandy made U.S. landfall, coincident with astronomically high tides, near Atlantic City, New Jersey, on October 29, 2012. The storm, the largest on historical record in the Atlantic basin, affected an extensive area of the east coast of the United States. The highest waves and storm surge were focused along the heavily populated New York and New Jersey coasts. At the height of the storm, a record significant wave height of 9.6 meters (m) was recorded at the wave buoy offshore of Fire Island, New York. During the storm, an overwash channel opened a breach in the location of Old Inlet, in the Otis Pike High Dunes Wilderness Area. This breach is referred to as the Wilderness Breach (fig. 1).
Fire Island, New York is the site of a long term coastal morphologic change and processes project conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). One of the objectives of the project was to understand the morphologic evolution of the barrier system on a variety of time scales (days - years - decades - centuries). In response to Hurricane Sandy, this effort continued with the intention of resolving storm impact and the response and recovery of the beach. The day before Hurricane Sandy made landfall (October 28, 2012), a USGS field team conducted differential global positioning system (DGPS) surveys at Fire Island to quantify the pre-storm morphologic state of the beach and dunes. The area was re-surveyed after the storm, as soon as access to the island was possible. In order to fully capture the recovery of the barrier system, the USGS Hurricane Sandy Supplemental Fire Island Study was established to include collection in the weeks, months, and years following the storm.
As part of the USGS Hurricane Sandy Supplemental Fire Island Study, the beach is monitored periodically to enable better understanding of post-Hurricane Sandy recovery. The alongshore state of the beach is recorded using a DGPS to collect data around the mean high water elevation (MHW; 0.46 meters, North American Vertical Datum of 1988 [NAVD88]) to derive a shoreline, and the cross-shore response and recovery are measured along a series of 15 profiles. Monitoring continued in the weeks following Hurricane Sandy with additional monthly data collection through April 2013 and repeat surveys every 2–3 months thereafter until October 2014. Recurring surveys have been conducted through October 2017. Beginning in October 2014 the USGS also began collecting shoreline data at the Wilderness Breach. The shoreline data collected was an approximation of the MHW shoreline. The operator walked an estimated MHW elevation above the water line and below the berm crest, using knowledge of tides and local conditions to interpret a consistent shoreline. See below for survey collection dates for all data types.
The shapefile, FIIS_Breach_Shorelines.shp, consists of Fire Island, NY breach shorelines collected by following an interpreted MHW shoreline as identified in the field.

Purpose:
Starting in October of 2014, data along the breach located in the Otis Pike National High Dune Wilderness Area were collected to monitor the breach opening. The USGS is continuing to monitor the beaches, dunes and breach to evaluate how much of the sand removed by Hurricane Sandy returns to the beach via natural beach-building processes.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The breach shoreline data provided here are a compilation of shorelines that were collected using USGS-specific field-collection methods over the course of two years following Hurricane Sandy, which made landfall in New Jersey on October 29, 2012.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Adjacent shoreline segments do not overlap and are not necessarily continuous. Shorelines were quality checked for accuracy.
Completeness_Report:
This shoreline file is complete and contains all shoreline segments derived from Post-Hurricane Sandy data collection efforts. These data adequately represented the shoreline position at the time of the survey.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The positional variability of an interpolated MHW (mean high water) shoreline is influenced primarily by tides, winds, waves and beach slope. Similarly, other water level-based proxies (e.g. HWL - high water line, LHTS - last high tide swash, WDL - wet dry line) have positional variability that is weather and tide dependent. For the breach shoreline collected by approximating MHW, under the same influence of tides and slope, similar positional uncertainties as observed for the HWL shoreline are expected. Thus, a conservative estimate of breach shoreline positional uncertainty of 10 m. The repeatability of interpreting the same MHW line (verses additional wrack lines) is estimated by the operator to be 1 m. Uncertainties derived from equipment limitations and post processing of the data is estimated to be 0.01 m and 0.04 m respectively. In total, the shoreline positional uncertainty for the shorelines collected at the Wilderness Breach are the square root of the sum of the squares of the following terms. square root of (10^2+1^2+0.01^2+0.04^2) = 10.05 meters
Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: 10.05
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:
The horizontal positional accuracy is found as the quadrature summation of the errors described in the positional accuracy report. The value is found by taking the sqrt (10^2+1^2+0.01^2+0.04^2) = 10.05 meters

Title: FIIS DGPS shoreline data
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: tabular digital data
Other_Citation_Details:
In order to examine the shoreline dynamics associated with Hurricane Sandy and monitor the continued response and recovery, surveys of continuous alongshore DGPS data were collected in conjunction with cross-shore profiles and surveys of the breach shoreline. Multiple shore-parallel tracklines were collected to capture the base of the dune, the mid-beach, and the upper and lower foreshore along the length of the island from Fire Island lighthouse to the western side of the storm-induced inlet breach at Old Inlet. Initial surveys were conducted one day prior to landfall and immediate post-storm surveys were conducted over the three days following Hurricane Sandy. The beaches and dunes were resurveyed monthly from December 2012 through April 2013, and bi-monthly surveys are presently ongoing. Starting in October of 2014, data along the breach located in the Otis Pike National High Dune Wilderness Area were collected to monitor the breach opening. The USGS is continuing to monitor the beaches, dunes and breach to evaluate how much of the sand removed by Sandy returns to the beach via natural beach-building processes.

The shoreline file FIIS_Breach_Shorelines_date was coded with attribute fields: FID, DATE_, and UNCERT (Uncertainty). These fields are required for the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS), which can be used to calculate change rates. Additional fields: Agency, Proxy, Data_Sourc, NOTES_, and Originator, were added to comply with the existing historical shoreline shapefile database for Fire Island. Agency refers to the contact organization (ex: USGS, NPS), Proxy is the shoreline proxy used to derive the shoreline (e.g. MHW, HWL, WDL), Data_Sourc is the material or source of the shoreline data (ex: lidar, air photos, GPS), NOTES_ indicates the extent of the shoreline data along Fire Island, and the Originator_ attribute is the contact organization and contact person responsible for the generation of the shoreline.

Similarly, other water level-based proxies (HWL - high water line, LHTS - last high tide swash) have positional variability that is weather and tide dependent. Drawing from data presented in Pajak and Leathermann (2002), a conservative estimate of HWL variability (given tide range and beach slope) of 10 m could be assessed for Fire Island, given the similar tide range (1.3 m) and average beach slopes (4.3-6.7°) at Fire Island compared to values published for the examples at Assateague Island, MD (0.7 m, and 4-6°) and Duck, NC (1.1 m, and 8-10°). For the breach shoreline collected by approximating MHW, under the same influence of tides and slope, similar positional uncertainties as observed for the HWL shoreline are expected.
