Coastal survey data for Perranporth Beach and Start Bay, Southwest England

Dataset

Description

This submission contains data for the period 2006 to 2021, for two contrasting macrotidal environments in southwest England: (i) cross-shore dominated, dissipative, sandy Perranporth Beach, Cornwall; and (ii) longshore-dominated, reflective gravel beaches within Start Bay, Devon. Data comprise monthly to annual beach profile surveys, annual merged topo-bathymetries, in addition to observed and numerically modelled wave and water levels. These data provide a valuable resource for modelling the behaviour of coastal types not covered by other currently available datasets. The dataset is currently being submitted for publication, an external DOI will be provided when it becomes available (updated 17 Jan 2023).
