Ground-Based Bathymetric Data Collected within the Wilderness Breach, Fire Island, New York, (2014) in XYZ ASCII Text File Format
Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal
and Marine Science Center in St. Petersburg, Florida, conducted a
bathymetric survey of Fire Island, New York, from October 5 to 10,
2014. The U.S. Geological Survey is involved in a post-Hurricane
Sandy effort to map and monitor the morphologic evolution of the
wilderness breach, which formed in October 2012 during Hurricane
Sandy, as part of the Hurricane Sandy Supplemental Project GS2-2B.
During this study, bathymetry data were collected, using single-beam
echo sounders and global positioning systems mounted to personal
watercraft, along the Fire Island shoreface and within the
wilderness breach, Fire Island Inlet, Narrow Bay, and Great South
Bay east of Nicoll Bay. Additional bathymetry and elevation data
were collected using backpack and wheel-mounted global positioning
systems along the subaerial beach (foreshore and backshore), and
flood shoals and shallow channels within the wilderness breach and
adjacent shoreface.
