Dataset abstract | Wind, sediment transport and surface morphological data collected at Sand Creek during a month long field campaign in March and April 2019 to investigate protodune development under bimodal winds. Data is used in the published paper Delorme, P., Wiggs, G. F. S., Baddock, M. C., Claudin, P., Nield, J. M., & Valdez, A. (2020). Dune initiation in a bimodal wind regime. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 125, e2020JF005757. https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JF005757 Surface morphological data: This is terrestrial laser scanned (TLS) data collected of the creek sand surface during multiple visits. The data is raw point cloud format in text columns of x, y and z coordinate data. It has been orientation in local format (the origin is located at 13UTM 443152, 4184478). *_full_lowres cover the whole creek surface and the banks on either side. * is the date that the data was collected in yymmdd format. All other data is high resolution section of the actual creek surface within the channel. Each data set uses the same coordinate system. Data can be viewed in any spatial software. Wind and sediment data were collected from a fixed point on the eastern edge of the creek channel. The data is in csv file format with column titles and can be viewed in any text or database software. See Delorme et al. for more details. |
