| Purpose | Measure changes in Sandwich Beach | ||||||||
| Location | Sandwich Town Neck Beach, Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts, United States, Atlantic Ocean | ||||||||
| Summary | This activity encompasses a lot of trips to the site to monitor changes in the beach. Pairs of pressure sensors were deployed during storms to capture overwash events. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Beach morphology, wave heights, tidal elevations | ||||||||
| Comments | This FA covers multiple trips to Sandwich Town Neck Beach. Complementary data from the offshore platform (1063) is in 2016-006-FA. | ||||||||
