Extreme to phenomenal storm wave impacts on a steep rocky coast, north Mayo, Ireland: video data, image analysis, runup and flow velocity calculations for waves of storms Fionn and Gareth.

The primary data are video (.mp4) files of extreme storm wave impacts on the sites of high elevation (>=20m above high water mark) coastal boulder deposits, recorded during storms Fionn (16/01/2018) and Gareth (12/03/2019), at (54.320355, -9.569633) on the north Mayo coast of Ireland, while the significant wave height was in the range [11m,14m]. There are also .png and .jpg files derived from frames of some of the videos, relating to the analysis of the impacting wave kinematics (runup/landward propagation and flow velocities), together with physical measurements for scale determination and runup/velocity/measurement uncertainty calculations in Excel. The files EventX.mp4 are the primary data for the wave impacts EventX. The files EventX_Frame_Y.jpg are frames sampled from EventX.mp4 at constant time intervals in the temporal vicinity of the impact. The files EventX_Edges_Y.png are the edges derived from the frames with the Canny edge detector. The files EventX_Registration_Y.jpg are the impacting wavefront edges with topographical edges registered on the file ReferenceImage.jpg The files EventX.jpg are the stacked registrations for all Y, from which the impact kinematics are derived. The file Scale_Registration_Position_Velocity_Measurements_AndUncertainty.xlsx contains physical measurements for scale determination, measurements of registration error, and the calculations of impact runup/landward displacement and flow velocities, with their uncertainties. The files JetX_Leacht_a_Chúil.mp4/g are videos of large jet-producing impacts at another site.
