To meet these needs, the USGS has produced a comprehensive database of digital vector cliff edges by compiling cliff edge positions from pre-existing historical cliff edge databases and by generating historical and modern cliff edge data. Cliff edges are compiled by state and generally correspond to two periods: 1920s-1930s and 1998-2002. Each cliff edge may represent a compilation of data from one or more sources for one or more dates provided by one or more agencies. Details regarding source are provided in the 'data quality information' section of this metadata report. Cliff edge vectors derived from both historic sources (first time period) and modern sources (final time period) represent the cliff edge at the time of the survey.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <DIV> <DT><I>Purpose:</I></DT> <PRE ID="original">Historical cliff erosion is considered to be a crucial element in studying the vulnerability of the national coastline.

The raw data was georeferenced at elevation points every few square meters. The original data from ATM was collected in WGS 84, ITRF 97, in a geographic (lat/long) coordinate system with irregular spacing. The data was then converted to NAD 83 and NAVD 88. The cliff edge generation involved an analysis of shore-normal profiles at 20m intervals alongshore. The point solutions were connected to produce a continuous vector cliff edge in shapefile format. A shore-parallel reference line was digitized as a permanent baseline for any future cliff edge generation. Data were projected to UTM zone 10 NAD27 for statistical analysis in the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) software.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <DT><I>Process_Date:</I>
