Date Issued:
1999
Summary:
The first paper identifies a methodology for predicting seasonal shifts in Florida's shorelines. The second paper is a companion paper to "Open-Ocean Water Datum Planes for Monumented Coasts of Florida", published by the Florida Geological Survey as a separate work. It identifies erroneous applications made when considering mean sea level (MSL), mean high water (MHW), mean low water (MLW), etc., tidal datum planes, illustrating why they are erroneous using examples, and details how proper applications should be determined.
