		Beach Profile Animations
		Below are gif animation files that illustrate month to month changes in beach profiles for several beaches located along the Atlantic coast of Long Island during the interval from April 1997 to January 1999. All transects were measured monthly, on or near the middle of the month whenever possible. Using measuring tape, sight levels and rods the height and width of the beach sections were determined in feet and then plotted to produce the animations.
