Correction to “Modeling storms improves estimates of long‐term shoreline change”

[1] In the paper ‘‘Modeling storms improves estimates of long-term shoreline change’’ by Frazer et al. (Geophysical Research Letters, 36, L20404, doi:10.1029/2009GL040061, 2009), the standard errors of the rate parameters in column 2 of Table 2 were incorrect. The corrected Table 2 is given below. No figures are affected. The last two sentences in the abstract should be ‘‘Data from Cotton Patch Hill, DE, yield a long-term shoreline loss rate of 0.49 ± 0.13 m/yr, about 16% less than published estimates. A minimum loss rate of 0.34 ± 0.07 m/yr is given by a model containing the 1929, 1962 and 1992 storms.’’ [2] With similar corrections to standard errors, statements made in section 8 should be ‘‘At Cotton Patch Hill, DE, the minimum long-term rate of shoreline loss is 0.34 ± 0.07 m/yr (from a model with all three storms). The model-averaged rate, 0.49 ± 0.13 m/yr, is about 16% lower than earlier estimates.’’ [3] In Table E1 of the auxiliary material the standard errors of the storm amplitudes are now corrected, and the third to the last sentence in section 8 should be ‘‘The sudden shoreline loss associated with the 1929, 1962 and 1992 storms was 19.4 ± 11.7 m, 94.8 ± 16.4 m and 9.6 ± 10.1 m, respectively.’’
