Data underpinning a preprint on sudden ecosystem shifts in coastal barriers. It includes alongshore maximum elevation, elevation growth rates, and synthetic random elevation time series. The dataset was authored by Orencio Duran Vinent and harvested by the Texas Data Repository.
Use Cases
- Modeling barrier island elevation dynamics based on alongshore maximum elevation data
- Analyzing growth rate relationships based on initial elevation values
- Simulating stochastic elevation changes over time using synthetic random elevation series
Strengths
- Data is structured for specific analytical purposes, corresponding to figures 1, 2, 3, and 5 in the associated preprint
- Includes both observed elevation data and synthetic time series for modeling
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
