Description:
Abstract:
Seamless topographic-bathymetric (topo-bathy) profiles and their derived morphologic characteristics were developed for sandy coastlines along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States. As such, the rocky coasts of Maine, the coral reefs in southern Florida and the Keys, and the marsh coasts in the Mississippi Delta and the Florida Big Bend region and are not included in this dataset. Topographic light detection and ranging (lidar) data (dune crest, dune toe, and shorelines) from Doran and others (2017) were stitched together with bathymetric data (nearshore slope) from the Continuously Updated Digital Elevation Model (CUDEM, 2014) to generate the seamless topo-bathy profiles. The topo-bathy profiles are published as a database in the Hierarchical Data Format version 5 (HDF5) which contain cross-shore distance coordinates, Universe Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system Easting and Northing coordinates, and various morphologic characteristics are provided here. A total of 3,897 topo-bathy profiles are included in the HDF5 database file. For further information regarding generation of these seamless topo-bathy profiles refer to Mickey and Passeri, 2022b.
Purpose:
These data were generated to provide a database of current morphologic profiles and their associated morphologic characteristics for use across multi-disciplinary studies of sandy coastlines along the Atlantic and Gulf U.S. coasts.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The profile data attributes were derived from observed lidar topographic data (Doran and others, 2017) except for the nearshore slope, which was derived using the bathymetric dataset from the Continuously Updated Digital Elevation Model (CUDEM, 2014). Each profile and characteristic in the database has been reviewed as part of this publication process, any errors were identified and corrected.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The topo-bathy profiles were generated by "stitching" observed lidar topography to the Continuously Updated Digital Elevation Model bathymetry. In some instances, these two datasets (bathymetry and lidar) did not align temporally at a particular shoreline. Therefore, adjustments were made to the position of the bathymetry data to ensure that the observed topographic data remained consistent. Refer to Mickey and Passeri (2022b) or the process description section of this metadata record for more details on the stitching methodology.
Completeness_Report:
Data set is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The topographic portion of the topo-bathy profiles were extracted directly from lidar data associated with Doran and others (2017). The Continuously Updated Digital Elevation Model bathymetry data were interpolated to an extended coordinate profile (to 20 meters [m] depth), based on locations from Nearshore Wave Prediction System (van der Westhuysen, 2013) generated from the lidar profile coordinates.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Vertical datum is in the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) with an estimated resolution of 0.01 m.

Process_Description:
The CUDEM topo-bathy data were interpolated to the extended lidar topographic profile coordinates. The original topographic lidar profiles from Doran and others (2017) were then stitched to the CUDEM interpolated profile at the shoreline datum elevation provided for each lidar derived profile. For profiles where the lidar shoreline datum elevation and the corresponding CUDEM shoreline datum elevation did not match in the cross-shore position, the CUDEM bathymetry was shifted shoreward or landward – based on the difference in cross-shore position of the lidar datum elevation. This methodology assumes that while this shifting of bathymetry does not represent the actual morphology and position associated with the lidar topography at that survey date, the stitching of these two temporally different datasets provides a reasonable representation of topo-bathy morphology for 1-dimensional morphologic modeling. The data were processed using MatLab R2016b.

Process_Description:
The fore dune crest and toe elevations and locations, along with shoreline position and elevation were extracted from the lidar datasets published in Doran and others (2017). In some cases, the fore dune crest or toe may not have been previously extracted, and were therefore extracted from the lidar profile following methods provided in Stockdon and others (2012). Beach width (m) was measured as the distance between shoreline location and fore dune toe location. Beach volume (cubic meters) was calculated as the volume of sediment over the derived beach width (m). Fore dune width (m) was measured as the distance (m) between the fore dune toe and crest. The fore dune volume (cubic meters) was calculated as the sediment volume (cubic meters) over the derived fore dune width (m). Nearshore slope was measured as the ratio of the depth of closure (m) over the horizontal distance (m) between the depth of closure from Brutsche and others (2016) and the shoreline. The beach slope was measured as the ratio of the elevation of dune toe above the shoreline elevation over the horizontal distance (m) between shoreline and the fore dune toe (Doran and others, 2017). The data were processed using MatLab R2016b.

Process_Description:
The final dataset of topo-bathy profiles and associated characteristics were exported to the open-source format of Hierarchical Data Format version 5 (HDF5) file using MatLab 2016b provided functions h5create, h5write, and h5 writeatt. All data are provided in a single file and are publicly available in Mickey and Passeri (2022a). Each profile within the HDF5 is considered a ‘group’ and designated by a specific number (syntax example 1: ‘/Profile/ID_1’), while each profile group contains a ‘dataset’ of the profile’s associated topo-bathy elevations (syntax example 1: ‘/Profile/ID_1/Elevation’), coordi-nates, and morphologic characteristics. Subsection 2.1 provides a description of the variables associated with an individual profile (group) within the HDF5 file.
