Using Video Imagery to Study Marconi Beach
Learn how the USGS is using video imagery to study the beach and nearshore environment in Wellfleet, Massachusetts.
Detailed Description
Two video cameras are mounted on a bluff above Marconi Beach, Cape Cod National Seashore, Wellfleet, MA. Every half hour, the video cameras collect imagery for 10 minutes. This is the timex image, a time-averaged image of all frames which smooths away surface waves and determines the location of persistent wave-breaking (indicative of shallow sandbars). View looks east. [Larger version]
The work is being conducted under National Park Service permits CACO-2019-SCI-0021 and CACO-2020-SCI-0021.
