Surface and Meteorological Data of Protodune Dynamics at Brancaster Beach, UK on 12th August 2016 (NERC Grant NE/R010196/1)
This dataset includes raw point cloud data from repeat terrestrial laser scans (TLS) for a field of protodunes that developed on Brancaster Beach over a three hour period. As well as the TLS data, additional measurements of the wind speed through a 2D sonic and sediment transport on the beach and over a study protodune were collected using Wenglor fork sensors. Details on some of the methods can be found in Baddock et al. (2017; DOI: 10.1002/esp.4242). Grain size of sand on the protodune in 2016 is also included along with grain size data of saltating grains at the same site in 2019 collected using Bagnold traps.

A Leica P20 TLS was used to collect the topographic measurements. It was focused on a single protodune with a resolution of 1.6 mm at 10 m, and periodically scanned the full 360 degree surface to measure the whole field of protodunes at 3.1 mm resolution. Details on the specific scan times are included in the dataset. For details on the field set-up and methodology specifics of each instrument, please see Baddock et al. (2017; DOI: 10.1002/esp.4242).
