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.
