ABSTRACT:

This dataset contains raw data from field campaigns conducted in McKay Bay and Philippe Park (Tampa Bay, FL, USA), for the purpose of measuring changes in hydrodynamics across three shoreline types: (1) mangrove-vegetated, (2) non-vegetated with seawall, and (3) mangrove-vegetated with seawall. The measured absolute pressure and velocity time series files are provided for both project sites, as well as the recorded vegetation surveys. The absolute pressure was measured using Van Essen pressure transducers at 15-min intervals and the velocities were measured using Nortek Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers once every 2-min over a duration of 16 days at both "onshore" and "offshore" transect points. The transects were approximately 30 meters across shore.
