This folder contains the data from site 8 (Galgeschoor) from Oct-2015 to May-2017

1. SED_site8 => Data of the observed bed level over each tidal cycle. The first column is the number of days in MATLAB reference. It can be changed into real time by function 'datestr(num)' in MATLAB. Columns 2 and 3 are the data from the landward (high flat) and seaward (low flat) stations of the northern transect (NH and NL, respectively). Columns 4 and 5 are the data from the landward (high flat) and seaward (low flat) station of the southern transect (SH and SL, respectively).

2. Hs_site8 => Significant wave height (Hs) per tidal cycle (in m). The first column is time (to be read using matlab 'datestr'). Columns 2 and 3 are the data from the landward (high flat) and seaward (low flat) stations of the northern transect (NH and NL, respectively). Columns 4 and 5 are the data from the landward (high flat) and seaward (low flat) station of the southern transect (SH and SL, respectively). 

3. Hmax_site8 => Maximum wave height (Hmax) per tidal cycle (in m). The first column is time (to be read using matlab 'datestr'). Columns 2 and 3 are the data from the landward (high flat) and seaward (low flat) stations of the northern transect (NH and NL, respectively). Columns 4 and 5 are the data from the landward (high flat) and seaward (low flat) station of the southern transect (SH and SL, respectively).

4. wl_site8 => Tidally-maximum water level (wl) (i.e. water level at high tide; in m and referenced to NAP). The first column is time (to be read using matlab 'datestr'). Columns 2 and 3 are the data from the landward (high flat) and seaward (low flat) stations of the northern transect (NH and NL, respectively). Columns 4 and 5 are the data from the landward (high flat) and seaward (low flat) station of the southern transect (SH and SL, respectively).   

5. D_site8 => Tidally-maximum water depth (D) (i.e. water depth at high tide; in m). Columns 2 and 3 are the data from the landward (high flat) and seaward (low flat) stations of the northern transect (NH and NL, respectively). Columns 4 and 5 are the data from the landward (high flat) and seaward (low flat) station of the southern transect (SH and SL, respectively).

6. U_ADV_site8 => Folder containing point flow velocities (recorded in bursts by ADV) per tidal cycle measured at the northern landward (NH) and southern landward (SH) stations. The first column is time (to be read using matlab 'datestr') for every flow velocity measurement. The second column is the already post-processed point flow velocity (filtered out by removing raw data with beam correlation < 70% and SNR < 5 dB). The point flow velocity corresponds to the magnitude of the horizontal components (x,y) of the flow velocity. The date in the format 'yyyymmddHHMMSS' indicated in every file name corresponds to the starting time of every tidal cycle.   

8. Grain size_site8.xlsx => D50 of the surface sediment samples taken at each SED-sensor station over time. Sheet 'D50_NIOZSEDsensorlocation' shows the D50 over time from the landward (high flat) and seaward (low flat) stations of the northern and southern transects (NH, NL, SH and SL, respectively). Sheet 'All_sedvariabl_NIOZSEDsensorloc' displays all sediment granulometry classes over time as well as LOI data (Loss On Ignition) as a proxy of organic matter contained in the surface samples at each SED-sensor station. Sheet 'D50_additionalinboSEBlocation'also shows D50 at other sampling locations along the transects where SEB were deployed (but no SED sensors). Sheet 'comparisonMarshMudflat' shows the D50 comparison between the northern landward (NH) and southern landward (SH) stations and their respective nearby marsh locations (GSb1 and GSc1, respectively).  

9. Wind_site8 => Daily averaged wind speed (in m/s) and wind direction (degree N) recorded at the nearby Zandvliet weather station.
