Field Activity 2010-011-FA

Identifier 2010-011-FA
Purpose Observe coastal change in the near shore area of Cape Hatteras.
Location Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, United States, North America, North Atlantic,
Summary Time series instrumentation was deployed at 14 sites in the nearshore area, a video camera was mounted on the lighthouse, a coastal radar was installed on the beach. Targets for aerial surveys were installed on the beach.
Comments Amount of continuous data is a guess, Hypack position and bathymetry was recorded for some transects during the course of the experiment. Project = Carolinas: Sediment Transport, Carolinas: Sediment Transport
