Profile Feature Extraction: CERI Attribute Table Definitions

The following table displays the attribute table field definitions from the CERI table as created in Step 2a.

Fields Created via Step 2a
Column Alias	Column Definition	Column Alias	Column Definition
Trans_ID	Transect ID from Transect Feature Class	PW	Protective Width
H_Unit	Horizontal Unit (Feet or Meters)	PE	Protective Elevation
V_Unit	Vertical Unit (Feet or Meters)	DE	Dune Elevation
MHW_Elev	Mean High Water Elevation	Mean_Slope	Mean Slope, from the MHW to the Dune Toe
MHW_Rng	Mean High Water Range	MHW_Slope	MHW Slope, within 0.5 meters landward and seaward of the MHW point
TO_Elev	Dune Toe Elevation	FD_Width	Frontal Dune Width, from the back trough to the dune toe
TO_Rng	Dune Toe Range	Beach_Width	Beach Width, from the back trough to the MHW
FD_Elev	Frontal Dune Elevation	BarCount	Number of bars detected
