Lincolnshire coast beach-dune surveys December 2013-April 2015 (NERC grant NE/M000052/1)
The dataset contains on-average monthly terrestrial LiDAR surveys conducted on the Lincolnshire coastline following the 2013 storm surge, collected between December 2013 and April 2015. The approximate coordinate locations of the surveys are given as follows: -EmbryoDunes (ED) 53°22'03"N 0°14'54"E -MablethorpeNorthEnd (MNE) 53°21'43"N 0°15'03"E The data were collected to record the rate and nature of recovery of the geomorphology of the back-beach and foredune zones following a storm surge in December 2013. Users interested in nearshore coastal geomorphology dynamics will find the data useful.

The dataset contains on-average monthly terrestrial LiDAR surveys collected as part of NERC grant NE/M000052/1 'Sensitivity of post-storm surge dune recovery to pre-storm geomorphological variability'. The datasets have been registered to a local OS Grid coordinate system to reduce errors during georeferencing. The files are supplied in comma delimited .csv format with individual points given in Eastings, Northings, Elevation (relative to mean sea level, ODN). The nomenclature given to the files (comma delimited .csv format) is as follows: Date*_Digital Elevation Model**.csv *given in YYMMDD format **as digital surface and terrain models (DSMs and DTMs respectively) The point-cloud data has been filtered using a local block window filter to differentiate between the ground surface (DTM) and supersurficial material (DSM). The window sizes for the ED and MNE sites are 50 and 5cm respectively. The optimal size of window was deduced from a dGPS ground control point comparison. Filtered data has subsequently been clipped to remove areas of low point density (obscuration from scanner). The dimensions of this clip are 65 x 130m (8100m^2) and 40 x 50m (2000m^2) for the respective ED and MNE sites.
