Incorrect slope estimate #27

Hi @kvos, it is a very nice job. I have some questions for you. Why is my estimated slope all one value (set maximum value)? Sometimes it calculates the correct value, sometimes it doesn't. This confuses me very much. I only extract one shoreline each year for analysis.

You need to use ALL the shorelines to have enough data to get an estimate of the beach-face slope. With one shoreline per year it will not be enough data to capture the tidal signal in the shoreline time-series.

Thanks for your answer, the problem has been solved!
