Data related to "fluctuations of current velocity and suspended sediment concentration due to coastal seiches"

The present dataset was derived from two acoustic Doppler current profilers moored in the inner (M1: 35.1881°N, 128.5861°E) and outer (M2: 35.1657°N, 128.5947°E) ) parts of the main channel of Masan Bay to reveal how suspended sediments vary depending on coastal seiches.

Up-looking broadband ADCPs (M1: 1200 kHz RDI Workhorse Sentinel; M2: 1000 kHz RDI Sentinel V20) installed in a trawl-resistant bottom mount were configured to measure the profiles of the three-dimensional current velocities, water level, temperature, and echo intensity every ten minutes from September 22 to October 13, 2017.

The post-processing dataset includes current velocity (m s-1), suspended sediment concentration (SSC, mg l-1), sediment flux (kg m-1 s-1), 1-hr filtered current velocity and SSC, and excursion lengths (m).
