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.

Wind and surface morphological data collected at Medano Creek on the 15th April 2019 to investigate protodune initiation. Surface morphological data: This is terrestrial laser scanned (TLS) data collected of the creek sand surface using three different co-located Leica TLS (C10, P20 and P50). The data is raw point cloud format in text columns of x, y and z coordinate data. It has been orientation into the same local coordinate system. Each data set uses the same coordinate system. Data can be viewed in any spatial software. Data is labelled using C10, P20 or P50, followed by the scan number. Scan times are indicated in a seperate file. Wind data were collected from a fixed point next to the TLS instruments using a Gill 3D sonic anemometer. The data is in csv file format with column titles and can be viewed in any text or database software.

This dataset includes raw point cloud data from repeat terrestrial laser scans (TLS) for early-stage protodunes migrating and eroding on a gravel surface in the Helga's Interdune Area, Gobabeb, Namib Desert, Namibia. As well as the TLS data, additional nearby measurements of the wind speed through a CSAT 3D sonic anemometer and sediment transport using a Sensit along with sediment trap data downwind of the focus protodune.

This dataset includes raw point cloud data from repeat terrestrial laser scans (TLS) for early-stage protodunes developing on a moist sandy surface in the Medano Creek area at Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado, USA under very strong winds. As well as the TLS data, additional nearby measurements of the wind speed through a CSAT 3D sonic anemometer and sediment transport using a Sensit and Wenglor fork sensors.

This dataset includes raw point cloud data from repeat terrestrial laser scans (TLS) for measuring saltation and moisture dynamics as well as early-stage protodunes developing on a moist beach surface. As well as the TLS data, additional measurements include wind speed with a CSAT 3D sonic anemometer and sediment transport using a Sensit and Wenglor fork sensors. Sediment traps were also used for sediment transport, and grain size of the trapped sand was measured.
