Profile WI05. Beach profiles show a well-developed berm (flat beach) at 10 m distance on November 11, 2006 (blue line) that is eroded by April 20, 2007 (green line), just after the Patriots' Day Storm. As in Transect 4 (WI04) there is sand build up on the lower profile of nearly a meter (at 50 m distance on the line). Note how linear the profile became after the storm. Data collected by Tom Long and the beach profile team at Southern Maine Community College.
