Summary
A beach and nearshore topographic survey consisting of one shore-normal
profile and one shore-parallel line (wet/dry line) was conducted. The profile
was extended offshore into the surf zone utilizing a swimming rodman. The total
station was set up near the upper parking lot of the Park, near the entrance
hut. The SECO level rods, in conjunction with the level-rod support tripods were
placed on the control points and pointed towards the total station. As the
Control Points were shot, the tripods and level rods were moved.
Notes
Program 10 (site setup) was performed on the total station.
Program 20 (station establishment) was performed on the total station using
option "Unknown Station Location"
Program 4 (UTM) was used for data collection
Control Points: 10403, 10405, 10402, 10404, and 10401 were surveyed (Fast
Standard mode)
The Wet/Dry line was surveyed using the EXP3 stadia rod (Tracking mode)
The established Profile was surveyed using the EXP3 stadia rod (Tracking mode).
The swimmer carried the profile offshore to a point where he was obscured by the
southern headland.
Gretchen Luepke sketched the beach and assisted with the control points.
Thomas E. Reiss operated the total station and photographed the area.
Justin Friesner was the rodman.
Date field data collection started --- 11 January 1999, 1120 (PST)
Date field data collection ended --- 11 January 1999, 1205 (PST)
