The data contains topographic survey data collected during the installation of the camera. Data were collected on foot, by a person equipped with a GNSS antenna affixed to a backpack outfitted for surveying location and elevation data (XYZ). The GNSS measurements were made using Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) corrections referenced to a temporary base station located approximately 250 meters from the study area. Purpose: The purpose of this dataset is to provide geospatial and topographic data, in support of a coastal video monitoring station at Tres Palmas, Rincón, Puerto Rico. Following U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data management protocols, this survey was assigned a USGS field activity number (FAN), 2019-675-FA. Additional information about the field activity from which these data were derived is available on the Coastal and Marine Geoscience Data System (CMGDS): https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2019-675-FA.

Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: These survey data were measured using survey-grade dual-frequency GNSS receivers operating in Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) mode using corrections referenced to a temporary base station located approximately 250 meters from the study area. The reference position of the base station was established using the mean position of four static occupations (each lasting between three and five hours, conducted during two days of surveying) derived using Precise Point Positioning (PPP). The standard deviation of the horizontal coordinates derived for the base station was 0.025 meters. The mean reported horizontal precision of the rover measurements was 0.008 meters (with a standard deviation of 0.004 meters). The magnitude of additional errors resulting from uncertainty in the base station reference position, antenna height measurement errors, and errors resulting from varying posture and sinking in sand during backpack surveying are unknown. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: These survey data were measured using survey-grade dual-frequency GNSS receivers operating in Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) mode using corrections referenced to a temporary base station located approximately 250 meters from the study area. The reference position of the base station was established using the mean position of four static occupations (each lasting between three and five hours, conducted during two days of surveying) derived using Precise Point Positioning (PPP). The standard deviation of the vertical coordinates derived for the base station was 0.023 meters. The mean reported horizontal precision of the rover measurements was 0.018 meters (with a standard deviation of 0.010 meters). The magnitude of additional errors resulting from uncertainty in the base station reference position, antenna height measurement errors, and errors resulting from varying posture and sinking in sand during backpack surveying are unknown. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: ACQUISITION The GNSS ground survey was conducted using a Topcon GRS-1 survey-grade dual-frequency GNSS receiver set to record raw GNSS observables in Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) mode. Topographic measurements of the ground surface were made using the GNSS receiver mounted on a GNSS-survey backpack and set to collect continuous observations at a rate of 1 hertz (Hz) while the surveyor walked on the ground surface. These data acquisition steps are similar to those reported in Brown and others (2018), the difference being the GNSS recording interval and the GNSS survey equipment model.

The raw recorded GNSS observations were converted from proprietary format to the standard RINEX format using the TEQC software package. The Trimble Business Center ver. 5.00 software package was then used to post process the data using the PPK post processing technique. The final, differentially-corrected, precise GNSS antenna positions were exported in American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) text format, with projected horizontal coordinates in the North American Datum of 1983 (National Spatial Reference System 2011) Universal Transverse Mercator Zone 19 North (NAD83(2011)/UTM Zone 19N) coordinate system, and vertical coordinates in the Puerto Rico Vertical Datum of 2002 (PRVD02), GEOID12B. These post-processing steps are similar to those reported in Brown and others (2018). Ground elevations were determined by subtracting the GNSS antenna height above the ground. The final beach profile data were written to a text file (.xyz) in tabular format, with columns representing: 1) Easting (NAD83, UTM Zone 19N), 2) Northing (NAD83, UTM Zone 19N), and 3) Orthometric Elevation (PRVD 02, GEOID12B).
