Hydrodynamics across a mangrove restoration site in the Red River delta, Vietnam

This dataset contains acceleration data measured from 19 low-cost and open-source bottom-mounted floats called ‘Mini Buoys’, to identify hydrological conditions associated with thriving and failing planted mangrove patches in the Red River delta, Vietnam.

Data collection method: Data to assess the hydrological tipping point between establishing and failing planted mangrove patches was gathered at Thai Binh Nature Reserve (20°34′35″N, 106°37′09″E) along the Red River delta, Vietnam. B4+ Mini Buoys were deployed in a grid between planted mangrove trees of different ages. Each logger sampled y-axis acceleration at 1 Hz. Coordinates showing the location of each Mini Buoy deployment are expressed in WGS84 standard.

Data was collected between: 09/09/2022 and 19/09/2022

No processing was done to acceleration data.
