Surface and Meteorological Data of Saltation and Protodune Dynamics at Brancaster Beach, UK in December 2019
This dataset includes raw point cloud data from repeat terrestrial laser scans (TLS) for measuring saltation and moisture dynamics as well as early-stage protodunes developing on a moist beach surface. As well as the TLS data, additional measurements include wind speed with a CSAT 3D sonic anemometer and sediment transport using a Sensit and Wenglor fork sensors. Sediment traps were also used for sediment transport, and grain size of the trapped sand was measured.

Leica P50, P40 and C10 TLS was used to collect the topographic measurements. The scan resolution varied between 0.8 and 3.1 mm at 10 m. The local coordinate system has been orientated to the wind direction. The CSAT 3D sonic anemometer was positioned 0.24 m above the surface. The Sensit was positioned at the ground surface. The Wenglors were at 0.02 and 0.05 m above the surface. See Delorme et al. (2023; doi:10.1029/2022GL101553) for more details of similar methodology.
