Data for "Observations of Wave Transformation and Frictional Dissipation across a Kilometer-Scale Low-Dissipative Reef Platform"

This version gives a clear description of each dataset and the functions used to process and analyze the data, which will help readers understand the data sources and methods applied in the study.
eta_all.mat: This file contains wave surface elevation data obtained using linear wave theory. The sampling frequency is 4 Hz, with 2048 samples per burst. A total of 1008 bursts are recorded in this dataset.

depth.mat: This file contains burst-averaged water depth data, which corresponds to the average depth of the water at each burst interval.

be.mat: This file provides topographic data, where the first column represents the horizontal position (x) and the second column represents the vertical elevation (z).

pos.mat: This file records the positions of the wave sensors deployed in the field.

burst_spectrogram_5stations_with_IGratio.m: This function calculates the spectral data for each burst at five measurement stations and computes the ratio of infragravity (IG) energy.

burst_Hsw_Hig_and_waterlevel.m: This function computes bulk wave parameters, such as the root-mean-square wave height (Hsw) and infragravity (Hig) wave heights, along with the water level.

marques_fe_Ab_sigmah_rebuild_noVelocity.m: This function calculates the frictional dissipation coefficient (fe) using the Marques method, based on wave energy flux and bottom roughness.
