Dataset accompanying the paper "Tracking fluorescent and ferrimagnetic sediment tracers on an energetic ebb-tidal delta to monitor grain size-selective dispersal"

Dataset accompanying paper, "Tracking fluorescent and ferrimagnetic sediment tracers on an energetic ebb-tidal delta to monitor grain size-selective dispersal", published in Ocean & Coastal Management in 2021. We conducted a sediment tracer study on Ameland ebb-tidal delta (the Netherlands) to determine sediment transport patterns as a function of grain size, with the goal of supporting future coastal sand nourishments. Sediment samples were obtained via shipboard Van Veen grab and dried in the laboratory. Fluorescent and ferrimagnetic tracer particles were separated visually and magnetically from native background sediment. Tracer particles were counted and sized via digital microscope, whereas native sediment was sized using a Malvern Mastersizer. Data is stored in netcdf format.

本数据集配套2021年发表于《Ocean & Coastal Management》（《海洋与海岸管理》）的论文《基于强潮退潮三角洲的荧光与亚铁磁性沉积物示踪剂追踪以监测粒径选择性扩散》。本研究针对荷兰阿默兰（Ameland）退潮三角洲开展沉积物示踪试验，以探明沉积物输运模式随粒径的变化规律，旨在为未来海岸砂质补滩工程提供支撑。沉积物样品通过船载范维恩采泥器（Van Veen grab）采集，并在实验室中进行干燥处理。从原生背景沉积物中，通过目视与磁选方法分离出荧光与亚铁磁性示踪颗粒。示踪颗粒通过数码显微镜完成计数与粒径分析，而原生沉积物的粒径分析则采用马尔文粒度仪（Malvern Mastersizer）完成。所有数据以netCDF格式存储。
