Abstract

Volume change above msl by 0.5-m contour slices (negative, erosion) e^.Total volume change above msl (negative, erosion).Note that volume quantities are actually computed cross-sectional areas multiplied by a unit length of beach (1 m) . Foreshore slopes, shoreline positions, and volume changes were computed using the Beach Profile Analysis System (Fleming and DeWall 1982).If required, the position of the shoreline (msl intercept) was extrapolated using the last two survey points but only if the last surveyed point was below an elevation of 0.6 ra. The total volume change above msl was computed only if a msl intercept was computed. Volume change computations were terminated at a maximum elevation of 18 m, a fact that nominally affects a few profile lines on Nauset Beach.
