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.
Notes
The total station was set up on the west side of the bluff overlooking
Its Beach, between the guardrail and the edge of the cliff.
The SECO level rods, in conjunction with the level-rod support tripods
were placed on the control points and pointed towards the total station.
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", utilizing Control Points 10501, 10503, and 10505.
Program 4 (UTM) was used to collect control and topo points
Control Points: 10505, 10501, and 10503 10502 were surveyed(Fast Standard mode)
The Wet/Dry line was surveyed using the EXP3 stadia rod (Tracking mode)
The Profile was surveyed using the EXP3 stadia rod (Tracking mode)
and carried offshore into the surf zone. Due to large waves and dangerous currents,
the profile was not carried to the maximum limit of the stadia rod, offshore.
Control Point 10502 was surveyed with the short EXTR stadia, in a hand-held manner
(Fast Standard mode)
Gretchen Luepke sketched the beach.
Thomas E. Reiss operated the total station and photographed the area.
Justin Friesner was the rodman.
