The total station was set up on the high bluff, southeast of
|
the stairs, overlooking New Beach. The HA reference was set to 000deg on
|
Control Point 10705 (at Cowells Beach). The SECO level rods, in
|
conjunction with the level-rod support tripods were placed on various
|
control points at Cowells Beach and used to establish geodetic control
|
at this location.
|
|
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 10705,
|
10704, and 10703.
|
|
Program 4 (UTM) was used to collect control and topo points
|
|
Control Points: 10703, 10705, 10704, 11403 (10603), 11402 (10602), and
|
11401 (10601) were surveyed (Fast Standard mode). A hand-held stadia
|
(EXTB) was used for Control Points 11402 (10602) and 11401 (10601).
|
|
The Profiles were surveyed using the EXP3 stadia rod (Tracking mode)
|
and carried offshore through the surf zone. Due to the gently sloping
|
bottom topography, the profiles were not carried to the maximum limit
|
of the stadia rod, offshore.
|
|
Gretchen Luepke assisted with the control points.
|
|
Thomas E. Reiss operated the total station, sketched, and photographed
|
the area.
|
|
Justin Friesner was the rodman
