%X Research objective
Investigation of the relation between foredune erosion/accretion in relation to storminess, aeolian transport potential and beach width. 

Type of research
The research is a statistical analysis of a long time series of beach profiles. Six sections of the Dutch coast are considered:Noord-Holland, Texel, Vlieland, Terschelling, Ameland, Schiermonnikoog.

Method of data collection
Original data were obtained from other producers: see "calculated from" links.

Relevant parameters were derived from these datasets using simple algorithms. 
•	From yearly beach profile: beach width, dune volume
•	From hourly sea level data: maximum sea level between profile measurements
•	From hourly wind data: yearly transport potential for each site, with 4 different upper limits on wind velocity.

Derived data are that were used in this study are provided in separate files:
•	beach_and_dune_data.nc: yearly values of beach width and dune volume for all profiles
•	max_sea_level_data.nc: yearly maximum sea level between profile measurements
•	transport_potential_data.nc: yearly transport potential for each site
