DSAS Elements
Detailed Description
DSAS generates transects that are cast perpendicular to the reference baseline to intersect shorelines at a user-specified spacing alongshore. In DSAS v6.1, onshore, offshore, and midshore (or combination) baselines are accepted. If a midshore baseline is uploaded, the user must accurately identify orientation of the baseline with respect to land so that DSAS calculates rates with the correct sign indicating accretion (+) or erosion (-).
