This data was developed as part of the National Coastal Change Assessment (see www.dynamiccoast.com). Mean High Water Springsfor the soft (erodible) coast was extracted from the OS National Grid 1:10,560/1:10,000 sheets. For the OS Six-Inch Inch County Series Second Edition, the ‘High Water Mark of Ordinary Spring Tides’ (HWMOST) was mapped, and in the ‘OS 1970’s data the Mean High Water Springs (MHWS) was mapped (note this is just a difference of terminology, the definitions are the same). Once the positional accuracy of the mpas were checked and updated against aerial photography, the high water mark was extracted using a combination of manually and automated extraction. The manual extraction required the use graphics tablet which allows the high water mark to be traced using a stylus (within the NCCA the Wacom Cinitq 24HD graphics tablet was used). The autmoted extraction used the ArcScan toolbar with ArcMap. The digitised high water mark was and linked across sheet boundaries, and then assigned the appropriate metadata e.g. survey dates, sheet number, and length (in metres) etc. For more information, please visit www.dynamiccoast.com
