Abstract:

This dataset includes raw point cloud data from repeat terrestrial laser scans (TLS) of rippled surfaces on barchan and dome dunes within the Huab Dune Field, Skeleton Coast National Park, Namibia. This raw data can be used to extract saltation height dynamics as well as 3D ripple data including celerity. As well as the TLS data, additional measurements of the wind speed through a CSAT 3D sonic anemometer or cup anemometer and sediment transport using a Sensit and Wenglor gate sensor.

statement:

Leica P20 TLS was used to collect the topographic and saltation height measurements over a 1 m square area with a resolution of 0.8 mm or 0.016 m at 10 m. Each data set has been placed in a local coordinate system and orientated to the wind direction. Details on the specific scan times and resolution for each scan are included in the dataset. The CSAT 3D sonic anemometer was positioned 0.5 m above the surface for the 2014 dataset and the cup anemometer was placed at 0.24 m above the surface for the 2016 and 2018 datasets.
