Hydrographic surveys have been conducted using small boats of the Institut Universitaire Européen de la Mer (https://www.flotteoceanographique.fr/en/Facilities/Vessels-Deep-water-submersible-vehicles-and-Mobile-equipments/Station-vessels/Albert-Lucas), which can be equipped with a range of sensors for data acquisition in the nearshore zone. For each survey, we prepared a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) at a fixed sampling distance of 0.5 m.

Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and orthophotography of La Palue and Lostmarc’h beaches in Crozon peninsula derived from the photogrammetric processing of drone images (DJI Phantom 4 RTK) with a flying height of 100 m.

In order to facilitate capturing three-dimensional beach change, full surveys of the subaerial beach have been conducted starting in 2004 using RTK-GNSS (survey method GPS), Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery processed using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry (survey method PHO) and terrestrial laser-scanning (survey method TLS). For each survey, we prepared a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) at a fixed sampling distance of 0.5 m.

Continuous hourly time-series of inshore waves spanning the period 2000-2019 are provided alongside topo-bathymetric and tide datasets. The wave dataset starts three years before topographic observations to provide antecedent conditions for morphodynamic modelling purposes. Wave parameters were derived from existing databases furnished by external organisations.

Continuous tidal levels spanning the period 2000-2019 are provided alongside topo-bathymetric and wave datasets. The astronomical tide dataset starts three years before beach morphological observations. Tidal levels were derived from existing databases furnished by external organisations.

DEMs covering both subaerial and subtidal domains were created by fusing topographic and bathymetric DEMs collected concurrently. Fusion DEMs provide an overview of sedimentary bedforms across the air-water interface. Comparison of measured topographic and bathymetric elevations at the overlap provides means for additional data verification.
