This dataset details the data collected by a Mini Buoy using the method presented in Balke et al. (2021) in the low marsh on Spiekeroog, Germany from January 2022 to March 2023 in a monthly resolution. A first analysis looking at data until July 2022 is presented in Keimer et al. (2023). Furthermore, Mini Buoy data collected in Butjadingen from March 2022 to March 2023 is included as well. This dataset includes the y acceleration measured by the Mini Buoy for two locations.

Type:: Table Flooding of low marsh
Research Object:: Other Hydraulic loads of low marsh
Data Origin:: Experiment and Measurements For the evaluation of the flooding frequency in the lower salt marsh, a Mini Buoy was mounted to a ground anchor at the salt marsh edge logging every 10 s. The three-axis acceleration sensor was used to determine its position relative to gravity. Thereby, elevation of the sensor due to flooding can be used to evaluate inundation frequency and average high tide duration. From January onward, monthly flooding frequency and average flooding duration are recorded on Spiekeroog. Note, that the analysis splits the data in 15 min intervals and deletes the first and last 60 min (4 intervals) of inundation to avoid misinterpretation (Balke et al., 2021). This leads to an insignificant underestimation of flooding duration.
Used Software:: Generation MSR software (v6.06.06)
Research Instruments:: Sensor MSR145 B4A by MSR, installed in a centrifuge tube
