Data from: Enhanced surf zone and wave runup observations with hovering drone-mounted LiDAR
Owning Institution: UC San Diego, Research Data Curation Program
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.
