Wave Dynamics and Fluid Stresses in Vegetated and Unvegetated Coastal Lagoons in Virginia, 2010-2011

Wave, turbulence and wind measurements were performed within a Zostra marina seagrass (eelgrass) meadow in South Bay, Virginia, USA a coastal bay within the Virginia Coast Reserve where ongoing seagrass restoration efforts are being performed, and in adjacent areas without seagrass. These datasets were published in: Hansen J.C.R. and Reidenbach M.A., 2013, Seasonal growth and senescence of a Zostera marina seagrass meadow alters wave-dominated flow and sediment suspension within a coastal bay, Estuaries and Coasts, 36, 1099-1114.

研究团队于美国弗吉尼亚州弗吉尼亚海岸保护区内的南湾（该海湾为弗吉尼亚海岸保护区所辖的沿海海湾）开展了波浪、湍流与风速测量工作，测量区域涵盖该海湾内的鳗草（Zostra marina，俗称eelgrass）草甸——该区域目前正持续推进海草修复工作——同时也包括毗邻的无海草区域。本数据集已发表于以下文献：Hansen J.C.R.与Reidenbach M.A.于2013年发表在《Estuaries and Coasts》（《河口与海岸》）第36卷第1099-1114页的论文《鳗草草甸的季节性生长与衰老会改变海湾内波浪主导流场与沉积物悬浮特性》。
