Figure 92. Goose Rocks Beach, Kennebunkport. Standard deviation of the profiles at GRI (a) shows the most variability on the upper beach profile (20-60 m) with more movement in winter compared to summer. At GR2 (b) summer and winter berm fluctuation is very similar and the profile responds similarly in both seasons. At GR3 (c) there is some variability across the profile in the standard deviation. The summer berm position shows higher variability in elevation than in the winter. At GR4 (d) the berm fluctuates more in summer (0.7 m) than winter (0.6 m) and, like GR1 this may be due to the influence of the adjacent tidal channel.
