Dataset documentation Dunefoot

Here is the documentation about the Dune Foot position dataset based on

• 1843-1998 Rijkswaterstaat dataset
• 1965-... Jarkus profiles dataset

Dune foot data in OpenEarth:

Dune Foot indicator along the Dutch coast is available from 1843 until today (2014). Different Dune Foot definitions are available from literature.Two of them are contained in the DF dataset:

1. Upper boundary as defined for MKL datasets
2. +3 m NAP intersection with JarKus profile

DF.nc is structured similarly to the JarKus dataset, although it contains data from 1843 until now. More information here. Dimensions for dune_foot_upperMKL* and dune_foot_threeNAP*  are time and alongshore:

• Raw data + scripts (ascii + Matlab)
  • Raw ascii data + Matlab tools for conversion to netCDF

• Standardized data (netCDF on OPeNDAP)

• Visualized data (kml)
