Buster Publication_Date: 2010 Title: 2007_shoreline. 2007 shoreline Mississippi and Alabama Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov Description: Abstract: The 2007 islands shorelines were extracted as the zero meter elevation from U.S. Geological Survey processed EAARL lidar data. The mainland used for this file is from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal Services Center and is their composite vector shoreline downloaded from (http://shoreline.noaa.gov/data/datasheets/composite.html, 2009). The NOAA Coastal Services Center's composite shoreline is a high-resolution vector shoreline based on a multi-temporal collection of NOAA shoreline manuscripts (T-sheets). It is critical that users refer to the source and date of the shoreline, since some areas of the U.S. are prone to erosion or accretion. Purpose: The purpose of this project was to create bathymetric grids and bathymetric change maps around the MS-AL barrier islands. Supplemental_Information: NOAA's shoreline information: Scale is 1:5,000 to 1:20,000. Source data are T-sheets, which are special-use planimetric or topographic maps that precisely define the shoreline and alongshore natural and man-made features, such as rocks, bulkheads, jetties, piers, and ramps. Where T-sheets are unavailable, NOAA's extracted vector shoreline (EVS) was used to compile seamless shoreline coverage. Tidal datum is Mean high water (MHW). The average accuracy of the measured benchmarks is 3.06 meters (10 feet), and this meets the National Ocean Service (NOS) guidelines for fixed aids to navigation and objects charted as landmarks. This accuracy is stricter than national standards and four times the accuracy of current U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000-scale topographic maps. Because of this, the original T-sheets can be assumed to also meet NOS guidelines and to be very accurate in their depiction of the shoreline that existed at the time of the surveys.

This accuracy is stricter than national standards and four times the accuracy of current U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000-scale topographic maps. Because of this, the original T-sheets can be assumed to also meet NOS guidelines and to be very accurate in their depiction of the shoreline that existed at the time of the surveys. Logical_Consistency_Report: Based on NOAA downloaded composite shoreline and extracted zero elevation from U.S. Geological Survey processed EAARL data. Completeness_Report: The source data is a compilation and therefore not complete in its coverage. The source data was used to create a map that best represents the historical shoreline using best practice methods to keep the data as accurate as possible.
