Prepared for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Washington, DC 20314-1000 Under Coastal Field Data Collection Program No. 462585 ERDC/CHL TR-17-19 ii Abstract This report evaluates the accuracy of two systems for surveying the beach and nearshore zone. The 10-meter (m)-tall Coastal Research Amphibious Buggy (CRAB) and the 10 m long Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo (LARC). The accuracy of the CRAB, in operation since 1981, to do centimeter-level surveys is well established. The main objective of this evaluation was to determine how well data collected with the LARC, under ideal survey conditions, compared to the CRAB. The field test consisted of repetitively surveying two profile lines (777 and 823): four times by the CRAB, nine times by the LARC. An all terrain vehicle (ATV) was used to survey the subaerial beach. The CRAB and ATV data were averaged to |
