This is where I’ve been all week. We’ve split the beach into 360 squares and monitored the levels in each square over time. Using this we’ve been able to generate equations which predict beach height in any year at each location. This means that we can fill in the missing years and missing measurements) The modelled results have an M in the top left corner. This wouldn’t be possible (in less than a month), without the help of Elina Thomassonand her astounding ability to code. At one point today I had over 70 spreadsheets open. Now we can generate a map or a prediction in a few minutes. The models are a lot smoother than the real data – they don’t have the local fluctuations in levels that the raw data has
Aside from the smoothness, they are hard to tell from the raw data and the significant features are all recorded correctly.
Enjoy – this was a labour of love!
Use pause if it goes too fast for you!
