Subaerial beach topography at NASA-Kennedy Space Center, Florida, U.S.A between 2009 and 2014

This dataset provides approximately monthly observations of beach topography for nearly five-years along the subaerial beach fronting NASA-Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Full details of data collection and processing can be found in the PhD dissertation of the lead author (https://search.proquest.com/docview/1508271661/abstract/70EE269DD557426CPQ/1). Two reports discussing these data are also provided in pdf format. The dataset includes data collected via ATV-mounted real time kinematic (RTK) GPS (all files beginning with "DEM_'") as well as data collected via backpack-mounted RTK GPS (all files beginning with "CpCnv_") concurrently with some ATV surveys. Data from each ATV survey is provided as a Matlab .mat file and include pre-processed X, Y, and Z location/elevation data referenced to UTM Zone 17 and NAVD88 vertical datum. Each file also includes gridded point coordinates at 1m x 1m resolution for northern (g_n) and southern (g_s) sections of the site and cross-shore transects created from these (T). Data from each backpack survey are also provided as Matlab .mat files, and contain cross-shore transects (T) referenced to UTM Zone 17 and NAVD88 vertical datum.
