Coastal Management
In order to quantitatively analyze the coastal erosion magnitude under the effects including wind, ocean wave and currents, and precipitations. Some USGS water measurement stations, NOAA tide and current station and daily precipitation archived data could be used, the information of those stations are list in table-1. All the stations track daily data for a long duration, at least cover recent 15 years. Thus, it ensures the possibility to investigate the effects for both long-term, short-term, and especially for some episodic several weather events such as 2015 Tax Day and 2016 Memorial Day floods.
The high resolution raster data of freeport near Brazos River Delta in 2015 and 2016 are available to be imported for spatial analysis and raster calculation.
In the next step, the values of aforementioned parameters during the raster dataset time window to correlate the weight of each factor will be statistically summarized. The winter scanned data will be used for cross validation and investigating seasonal characteristics.
