Surface and Meteorological Data of Ripple and Saltation Dynamics at Medano Creek Area, Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado, USA on 5-11th April 2022 (NERC Grant NE/R010196/1)
This dataset includes raw point cloud data from repeat terrestrial laser scans (TLS) for dry rippled and moist sandy surfaces in the Medano Creek area at Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado, USA. As well as the TLS data, additional measurements of the wind speed through a CSAT 3D sonic anemometer and sediment transport using a Sensit and Wenglor fork sensors.

Co-located Leica P20 and P50 TLS was used to collect the topographic and saltation height measurements. They scanned a 1 m square area with a resolution of 0.8 mm at 10 m. Both TLS have been placed in the same local coordinate system and orientated to the wind direction. Details on the specific scan times for each TLS are included in the dataset. The CSAT 3D sonic anemometer was positioned 0.24 m above the surface. The Wenglors were at heights of 0.02, 0.05, 0.115, 0.18 and 0.5 m. Modified Bagnold sand traps (4 in each run) were placed at 0 - 0.5 m in height above the surface to coincide with 1 or more scans - details of individual trap run times are included in the dataset. See Delorme et al. (2023; doi:10.1029/2022GL101553) for more details of similar methodology.
