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



This report presents 4 years of highly accurate, approximately biweekly surveys of 

 four selected beach profiles collected at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment 

 Station, Coastal Engineering Research Center's Field Research Facility (FRF) in Duck, NC , 

 These data are unique because they cover the most active region of the nearshore, from 

 the dune out to a depth where net bottom changes appear to be negligible, and were 

 collected coincident with detailed measurements of waves and water levels. 



The data were collected between 1981 and 1984 using the FRF's CRAB, a 10-m-tall 

 motorized tripod, which, combined with an electronic "total station" surveying instrument, 

 is capable of accuracies of a few centimetres in both elevation and position.
