Description

MATLAB Datasets and codes used for the formal analysis of the submitted article: 
"Leveraging Laboratory Experiments of Shoreline Response to Sea-Level Rise: A Beach Disequilibrium Perspective", Geophysical Research Letters, D'Anna et al.

 

Technical info (English)

MATLAB Formatted experimental data (.mat) of beach response to water-level rise from Atkinson et al. (2018), Beuzen et al. (2018), and Bayle et al. (2020), including: 

 File Name: data_Exp_TN*.mat (*T= Experiment type (A, E, C); N= Experiment number (1,2,3))

  • Hydro : Hydrodynamic characteristics of the experiment (prescribed conditions);
  • Pre/PostMprofTS : Alongshore Median of measured cross-shore beach profiles time series for Pre/Post-SLR phase;
  • pre/postSLR : structure including pre/post-SLR extracted features;
  • pre/posttime : time of the pre/post-SLR phase; 
  • x : cross-shore coordinate of beach profile.

Methods (English)

MATLAB Codes include:

  • BSM.mat : Application of Bayle et al. (2021) scaling method to the three datasets analysed here.
  • MaxDerivative_dSdt.m : function for detection of threshold derivative of shoreline change (i.e., shoreline change rate), to identify the time of partial Wave Reshaping.
