Hydrodynamic and morphological information, and the absolute variations of the vulnerability indices for the period 2000-2015 of the Spanish Iberia Peninsula estuaries.

The dataset included in this repository was obtained during the project entitled 'Sensibilidad física y biotic de los estuarios peninsulares al cambio global (SENSES)' funded by 'Fundación Biodiversidad', PRCV00487. The data were used in the research article 'Sensitivity of Iberian estuaries to changes in sea water temperature, salinity, river-flow, mean sea level, and tidal amplitudes' submitted to Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science.

Brief description of dataset:

For each estuary, the following parameters were calculated

• Fachade: the location of the estuary
• Area (km²) 
• D (m): water depth at the mouth of the estuary in 2000 and 2015
• Tidal Prim (m³)
• Q_f (m³/s): river flow in 2000 and 2015
• a (m): tidal amplitude of the free surface elevation in 2000 and 2015
• ∆U (m/s): absolute variation of the tidal current amplitude between 2000 and 2015
• ∆E (W/m²): absolute variation of the tidal energy flux propagation index between 2000 and 2015
• ∆Ri : absolute variation of the bulk Richardson number index between 2000 and 2015
• ∆SI: absolute variation of the salinity intrusion index between 2000 and 2015

A wide description of the parameters can be found in Serrano, M. A. et al (submitted to Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science)
