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 Control Point 11104
"Bench Mark". The HA reference was set to 000deg relative to
Control Point 11101 "North Bridge". 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 "Known Station Location",
utilizing Control Point 11104 as the station location
and Control Point 11101 as the known reference object.
Program 4 (UTM) was used to collect control and topo points
Control Points: 11101 and 11103 were surveyed
(Fast Standard mode)
The Profile was surveyed using the EXP3 stadia rod
(Tracking mode) and carried offshore into the surf zone.
The profile was carried to the maximum limit of the
stadia rod, offshore.
The Wet/Dry line was surveyed using the EXP3 stadia rod
(Tracking mode)
Control Point 11102 was surveyed with EXTB stadia in a
hand-held fashion.
Gretchen Luepke sketched the beach and assisted with the
control points.
Thomas E. Reiss took written notes and photographed the area.
Kristin M. Brown operated the total station
Justin Friesner was the rodman
