19. ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number) 



This report presents a collection of field survey data that quantifies the effects 

 of 13 unique storm events on from two to seven beaches along the North Atlantic coast 

 of the United States. The beaches include Nauset Beach, Massachusetts; Misquamicut Beach, 

 Rhode Island; Westhampton and Jones Beaches, New York; and Long Beach Island, Atlantic 

 City, and Ludlam Beach, New Jersey. From 7 to 19 profile lines were surveyed at each 

 site permitting reliable estimates of the average change to be computed for each beach and 

 storm. Beach change data are presented in terms of plotted profile cross sections, above 

 mean sea level (msl) volume changes, shoreline changes, and slope changes. In addition, 

 shallow-water wave hindcasts for each survey interval and storm are presented along with 

 measured water level data (tide plus surge) . 



The data document not only the large beach changes that can occur during storms but 

 also reveal the amount of variation that occurs between profile lines and between different
