Dataset abstract

This dataset includes raw point cloud data from repeat terrestrial laser scans (TLS) for a field of protodunes that initiated and developed on a desert gravel interdune surface close to Helga's dune at Gobabeb, Namibia. As well as the TLS data, additional measurements of the wind speed through a CSAT 3D sonic anemometer and sediment transport using a Sensit.
