Wave break data collected during the High Tides event in December 2010. The dataset originates from the Government and Municipalities of Québec and is presented in geospatial formats including SHP and WMS. Row and column counts are not specified.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of wave breaking during the December 2010 high tide event using SHP geometry data.
• Integrate WMS service layers depicting wave break data into coastal hazard mapping applications.
• Correlate wave break locations from this dataset with other coastal infrastructure or erosion datasets for risk assessment.

Strengths

• Data focuses on a specific, documented coastal event (December 2010 High Tides).
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (SHP, WMS, HTML) for different analytical needs.
• Provided under an open license (qc-cc-by) by a governmental organization.

Limitations

• Dataset scope is limited to a single month-long event, lacking temporal breadth.
• No sample data or schema (columns) is provided to assess data structure before download.
• Metadata indicates automated translation, which may introduce inaccuracies in descriptions.
