Data processing code of the HU method to assess wave dissipation capacity of coastal and estuarine forested wetlands

<strong>Data processing code of <em>HU</em> method, which applies Ursell number as an index for the assessment of</strong> wave dissipation capacity by coastal and estuarine forested wetlands<strong>. </strong>The data processing procedure can be done with a few simple MATLAB scripts. Before using the scripts, the users need to prepare measured data of significant wave height, water depth and peak wave period from field measurements or lab experiments. The distance between each station should also be prepared. An instruction of setting up field measuring transects and m<strong>echanism of the <em>HU</em> method</strong> can be find in the deposited file 'practice workflow.docx'.
