Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Pre-Henri data was collected on 8/20 at low tide at Head of the Meadow Beach (J. Over) and at Marconi Beach (C. Sherwood). Due to Friday crowds and last minute planning the CORS network was used which did not give good data at Marconi and some usable data at HOM. Post Storm data was collected by J. Over at HOM on 8/24 at the evening low tide with a base station. A complete survey was done there. Data was post-processed on 8/26.
