Summary
A beach and nearshore topographic survey consisting of three
shore-normal profiles and one shore-parallel line (wet/dry line) was conducted.
The profiles were extended offshore into the surf zone utilizing a swimming
rodman. The total station was set up on Control Point 11201 "GL SETUP". This
location, although very distant from the beach, has a commanding view of the
entire beach and nearshore region. The HA reference was set to 000deg relative
to Control Point 11205 "Esplanade". The SECO level rods, in conjunction with the
level-rod support tripods were placed on the control points and pointed towards
the total station.
Notes
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 11201 as the station location and Control Point 11205 as the
known reference object.
Program 4 (UTM) was used to collect control and topo points
Control Points: 11205, 11202, and 11204 were surveyed
(Fast Standard mode)
The Profile SN2 was surveyed using the EXP3 stadia rod
(Tracking mode) and carried offshore into the surf zone. Due to
the gently sloping nature of the offshore bathymetry, the profile
was terminated at the intermediate maximum limit of the EXP3
stadia rod.
The Wet/Dry line was surveyed using the EXP3 stadia rod
(Tracking mode)
The Profiles SN1A and SN1 were surveyed using the EXP3 stadia rod
(Tracking mode) and carried offshore into the surf zone. Due to the
gently sloping nature of the offshore bathymetry, the profile was
terminated at the intermediate maximum limit of the EXP3 stadia rod.
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.
Date field data collection started --- 13 January 1999, 1130 (PST)
Date field data collection ended --- 13 January 1999, 1230 (PST)
