Hydrodynamic and morphological information, and the absolute variations of the vulnerability indices for the period 2000-2015 of the Spanish Iberia Peninsula estuaries.

<p>The dataset included in this repository was obtained during the project entitled &#39;Sensibilidad f&iacute;sica y biotic de los estuarios peninsulares al cambio global (SENSES)&#39; funded by &#39;Fundaci&oacute;n Biodiversidad&#39;, PRCV00487. The data were used in&nbsp;the research article&nbsp;&#39;Sensitivity of Iberian estuaries to changes in sea water temperature, salinity, river-flow, mean sea level, and tidal amplitudes&#39; submitted to <em>Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science</em>.</p> <p>Brief description of dataset:</p> <p>For each estuary, the following parameters were calculated</p> <ul> <li>Fachade: the location of the estuary</li> <li>Area (km²)&nbsp;</li> <li>D (m): water depth at the mouth of the estuary in 2000 and 2015</li> <li>Tidal Prim (m³)</li> <li>Q_<em>f</em>&nbsp;(m³/s): river flow in 2000 and 2015</li> <li><em>a&nbsp;</em>(m): tidal amplitude of the free surface elevation in 2000 and 2015</li> <li>∆<em>U</em>&nbsp;(m/s): absolute variation of the tidal current amplitude between 2000 and 2015</li> <li>∆<em>E</em>&nbsp;(W/m²): absolute variation of the tidal energy flux propagation index between 2000 and 2015</li> <li>∆<em>Ri&nbsp;</em>: absolute variation of the bulk Richardson number index between 2000 and 2015</li> <li>∆<em>SI</em>: absolute variation of the salinity intrusion index between 2000 and 2015</li> </ul> <p>A wide description of the parameters can be found in Serrano, M.
