Statement

A Leica P20 TLS was used to collect the topographic measurements. It scanned the full 360 degree surface to measure the whole field of protodunes at 3.1 mm at 10 m resolution. A co-located Leica P50 TLS also collected data at the same resolution and a smaller section over the closer bedforms is included in this dataset. Both TLS have been placed in the same local coordinate system and orientated to the wind direction. Details on the specific scan times for each TLS are included in the dataset. The CSAT 3D sonic anemometer was positioned 0.24 m above the surface.
