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 ripple and saltation dynamics as well as early-stage protodunes migrating and eroding on a moist surface in the Medano Creek Area, Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Colorado, USA. 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.

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.

This dataset includes processed aeolian ripple and meteorological data from raw data sets available in Nield et al. (2025; 2023a; 2023b) from field sites at 1) Medano Creek Area, Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Colorado, USA and 2) the Huab Dune Field, Huab River Valley, Skeleton Coast, Namibia.
