Hydrodynamics and Suspended Sediment Measurements from a Coastal Algal Reef

Zhi-Cheng Huang published field observation data supporting the journal article "Field Evidence of Flocculated Sediments on a Coastal Algal Reef" in Communications Earth & Environment. The archive contains measured and processed data of hydrodynamics (ADV) and suspended sediments (LISST and OBS). The dataset is 281.6 KB in size and was last updated on April 10, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling sediment transport dynamics based on ADV hydrodynamics data
• Analyzing suspended sediment concentration and particle size distribution based on LISST and OBS measurements
• Investigating flocculation processes in coastal environments based on field observation data
• Validating hydrodynamic models for algal reef settings based on measured data

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed journal article in Communications Earth & Environment
• Includes processed data from specialized instruments (ADV, LISST, OBS)
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The 281.6 KB size indicates a limited scope of observations
