Single beam bathymetry transects at the West coast of Sylt from Sep 22-26 2016

Abstract

The dataset contains quality checked, post processed echo soundings as point data (not gridded). It represents the coastal bathymetry in September 2016 in front of "Bunker Hill" at the southern West coast of the island Sylt, in the German Bight of the North Sea. The "WaveDiss" field experiment was conducted from September 21. to October 2., 2016 at the Island Sylt in the North Sea. The goal of the experiment is to provide ground truth data for validation and development of radar remote sensing methods to study nearshore hydro- and morphodynamics (Link: https://www.hzg.de/institutes_platforms/coastal_research/operational_systems/radar_hydrograph/projectsy/index.php.en#tab-25).
