Data set - Laboratory measurement of the wave–induced plastic particles motion: The influence of wave period, plastic size and plastic density

This data set describes the wave flume experimental data on the wave-induced plastic particles motion induced by different wave conditions and different plastic particles density and size. A manuscript is currently under review describing the analysis of the data.

The data set is divided in two parts:

- Wave flume hydrodynamics. With measured water surface elevation at different locations within the wave flume. These data are stored in txt files with headings describing the type of measurement, i.e. wave paddle motion, water surface elevation at different sensors, synchronization signal for the video-cameras.

- Lagrangian trajectories. hdf5 files with information of the particles position, velocity and time (with respect to the synchronization signal in the respective hydrodynamic file) for each experiment. Two tar.gx files have been uploaded with trajectories information:

               - TOPIOS_Trajectories_FloatingParticles.tar.xz, with information of floating plastic particles and,

               - TOPIOS_Trajectories_NonfloatingParticles.tar.xz, with information of non-floating plastc particles.

An excel file with information of filenames, cross-shore locations of sensors, plastic particles and wave conditions is also uploaded (TOPIOS_Control_exp.xlsx).
