Geodetic data (geodetic, navigation) of field activity N-W1-99-MB in New Beach, Santa Cruz, CA from 01/12/1999 to 01/12/1999, http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/n/nw199mb/html/n-w1-99-mb.meta.html. Purpose: These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and general public. Supplemental_Information: Equipment Used - geodetic data directory exists navigation data directory exists Notes - The total station was set up on the high bluff, southeast of the stairs, overlooking New Beach. The HA reference was set to 000deg on Control Point 10705 (at Cowells Beach). The SECO level rods, in conjunction with the level-rod support tripods were placed on various control points at Cowells Beach and used to establish geodetic control at this location. Program 10 (site setup) was performed on the total station Program 20 (station establishment) was performed on the total station using option "Unknown Station Location", utilizing Control Points 10705, 10704, and 10703. Program 4 (UTM) was used to collect control and topo points Control Points: 10703, 10705, 10704, 11403 (10603), 11402 (10602), and 11401 (10601) were surveyed (Fast Standard mode). A hand-held stadia (EXTB) was used for Control Points 11402 (10602) and 11401 (10601). The Profiles were surveyed using the EXP3 stadia rod (Tracking mode) and carried offshore through the surf zone. Due to the gently sloping bottom topography, the profiles were not carried to the maximum limit of the stadia rod, offshore. Gretchen Luepke assisted with the control points. Thomas E. Reiss operated the total station, sketched, and photographed the area. Justin Friesner was the rodman Images taken The following images were taken with a Kodak DC120 Digital camera. 99011214 -- View of "New Beach", looking north. From this location, Cowells Beach can be seen at the top of the image as well as the landward portion of the Santa Cruz wharf. 99011215 -- View of the stairs leading down to the beach at New Beach, from the Geodimeter Location. In this view, all three control point locations can be seen. 99011216 -- Control Point SCRUZ.ARE/10602 "Guard Rail" The control point is a survey nail pounded into the top of the 4" X 4" guardrail post. View looking east. The mid-portion of the Santa Cruz wharf can be seen in the background. 99011217 -- Control Point SCRUZ.ARE/10603 "Path" The control point is a survey nail pounded into the gap which separates the asphalt path and wood border. The nail is directly opposite the fence post. The seaward end of the Santa Cruz wharf can be seen in the background. 99011218 -- Control Point SCRUZ.ARE/10601 "Stairs" The control point is a survey nail pounded into the top corner of the hand rail of the stairs leading down to the beach. 99011219 -- View from Control Point SCRUZ.ARE/10601 "Stairs" looking south-southeast, back towards the Geodimeter Location. This view shows the height of the cliff above the water.
