Data from: Enhanced surf zone and wave runup observations with hovering drone-mounted LiDAR

About this Collection

The Drone LiDAR data contained in this object were obtained during the Storm CoAstal Response Project (SCaRP) field experiment of Winter 2019-2020. The study was conducted at Torrey Pines State Beach in San Diego, California, USA. The gently-sloped mixed cobble and sand beach was instrumented with a transect of buried pressure sensors extending from the cobble-covered upper beach to ~110 m offshore. A drone-mounted LiDAR hovered at 20 m above the water roughly 40 m offshore, and a truck-mounted terrestrial LiDAR (elevation 6.3 m, NAVD88) parked on an elevated road above the back beach. Data were collected during high tide (~MHHW, 1.57 m NAVD88) from 1800-1924 UTC 14 December 2020 and 1700-1920 UTC 24 February 2020.

The dataset includes LiDAR derived 'time-stacks' from both LiDAR instruments; wave runup statistics, spectra, and time series for each time-stack; and pressure sensor surface-corrected time series.
