Notes: This FA is an ongoing Argus camera station mounted on top of the coastal bluff in the closed area of Sunset State Beach near Port Watsonville. The station has 2 cameras (Point Grey BFLY-PGE-50S5C-C) that overlook a 1x1km region of the beach offshore and northward. The cameras collect Argus image products every half-hour of daylight from 10-minute long video streams. Timestacks are extracted from 20-minute video streams every hour of daylight for a cBathy grid, alongshore and cross-shore transects. The image acquisition is ongoing and will be split up into separate FANs based on year. The station is solar powered. The camera installation is within California State Park jurisdiction and is permitted until 2/24/18 by Joanne Kerbavaz.
