To complement our measurements from permanent laser scanning we set up a weather station next to the laser scanner on the balcony of Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin. We are monitoring wind speed and direction as well as temperature and precipitation to investigate the effects of weather conditions on our measurements. The set-up was finished just in time before storm Ciara hit the coast on 09 February.

On 30 January we did some initial measurements before the official start of the ScanEx Fieldwork campaign in February. There was strong wind and lots of aeolian transport was visible. We collected sand samples and data with moisture sensors, GPS receivers and with our second laser scanner.

We are interested in measuring changes in elevation, soil moisture and surface roughness, as well as analyzing underlying processes like tides and aeolian sand transport.
