Description:
Abstract:
These data comprise laboratory observations of oscillatory flows over mobile sand ripples. The data were collected January 6-7, 2016, in the small-oscillatory flow tunnel (S-OFT) in the Sediment Dynamics Laboratory at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Stennis Space Center, Mississippi (MS), while Donya Frank-Gilchrist was a National Research Council post-doctoral fellow there. The flow tunnel has a 2-m long acrylic test section which was filled with coarse quartz sand. A piston and flywheel were used to drive the oscillatory flows, from which equilibrium sand ripples developed. The experimental setup comprised of three Photron cameras and a double-pulsed Litron Nd:YAG laser, synced and sampled at 100 hertz (Hz) in double-framed mode. The fluid velocities were obtained through Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) processed with LaVision DaVis 11 software. The images were also rectified and exported from the original file format (.im7) to a non-proprietary format (Tagged Image File Format, .tif) for inclusion in this data release. For further information regarding experimental setup, methods, and results, refer to Frank-Gilchrist and others (2018, 2024).
Purpose:
The measurements were obtained to investigate the initiation of motion and transport of sand grains over flat and rippled sand beds under oscillatory flows. These data can be further processed to produce sand grain velocities. To ensure that U.S. Geological Survey-St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC) data management protocols were followed, a USGS Field Activity Number was assigned (FAN) for this camera imagery collection; 2016-371-DD. Additional information about this FAN is available on the Coastal and Marine Geoscience Data System (CMGDS): https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2016-371-DD.
Supplemental_Information:
The bounding coordinates below represent the location of the Sediment Dynamics Laboratory where the laboratory experiment was conducted at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Stennis Space Center, MS. These datasets represent the images of the sand ripple and the calculated fluid velocities measured during the laboratory experiment. More images may be added to this release as needed.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The cameras collected 1-megapixel images with file sizes of approximately 4.80 megabytes (MB) in .im7 format (which were later converted to .tif). The images were calibrated with the two-dimensional LaVision calibration plate and the LaVision DaVis 8 and 11 software. The coordinate system and origin are relative to the placement of the calibration plate. Each pixel represents approximately 0.1 millimeters. The image intensity counts represent the 4095 light intensities from black (0) to white (4095) as captured by the cameras based on the 12-bit depth.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The PIV laser and camera system were programmed to collect 2,728 double-framed images at 100 Hz per dataset, based on internal camera memory. Experiment was run five times (datasets A through E) with consistent set up and calibration between dataset runs, except for dataset E which was slightly asymmetric (Frank-Gilchrist and others, 2024).
Completeness_Report:
The images in each dataset represent a portion of the sand ripple within the camera field of view. Once the set of 2,728 images were collected, no measurements could occur while the data were being downloaded. Therefore, this dataset is not considered continuous between dataset runs. Additionally, the sand ripple may have migrated in the tank between each dataset such that a different section of the ripple was captured in the camera field of view for the subsequent dataset. This product is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.

Process_Description:
Experimental setup and calibration: The experiment was conducted in small-oscillatory flow tunnel at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Stennis Space Center, MS. The experimental setup (the PIV system) is comprised of three Photron cameras and a double-pulsed Litron Nd:YAG laser, synced and sampled at 100 Hz in double-framed mode. For more information about experimental setup, refer to Frank-Gilchrist and others (2018). After the cameras were mounted and adjusted for optimum focus with the laser light, the intrinsic camera calibration images were then taken of the LaVision 3-dimensional, two-level calibration plate. LaVision DaVis 8 software was used to rectify and calibrate the images of setup.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Image collection: The cameras were programmed to collect 2,728 double-framed images at 100 Hz with 2000 microseconds between each image of the pair. The camera images were synced with the laser firing, as is the typical setup for the PIV system. The images included in this data release were collected from January 6 – 7, 2016. Upon collection, images were stored in .im7 format and then further calibrated and exported to bitmap (.bmp) format using DaVis 11. The experiment was run five times (datasets A through E). For each run, files were automatically named by the camera setup as 'B####.bmp', numbered 0001 through 2728. Gaps exist between each dataset due to camera downtime during download of each run to the acquisition computer. During this time, the sand ripple may have migrated, and a different section of the ripple would be in the field of view for the subsequent dataset. Therefore, this dataset is not considered continuous between dataset runs. For more information about experimental methods and results, refer to Frank-Gilchrist and others (2018).

Process_Description:
Populating image headers: The images were processed to add additional information required by the USGS to add exchangeable image file format (EXIF) metadata to each image. The images (TIF) were given EXIF header information using Phil Harvey's ExifTool version 12.84. The following scripts were executed on a folder of images (datasets A through E) in Windows PowerShell:
First, the following command was run on all images in a folder to preserve filenames: exiftool -P "-XMP:PreservedFileName<Filename" *.TIF
Second, the following command was run on all images in a folder to populate the first set of headers: exiftool -IPTC:Credit="U.S. Geological Survey" -IPTC:Contact="gs-g-spcmsc_data_inquiries@usgs.gov" -EXIF:Copyright="Public Domain" -XMP:UsageTerms="Unless otherwise stated, all data, metadata and related materials are considered to satisfy the quality standards relative to the purpose for which the data were collected. Although these data and associated metadata have been reviewed for accuracy and completeness and approved for release by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), no warranty expressed or implied is made regarding the display or utility of the data for other purposes, nor on all computer systems, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty." -EXIF:ImageDescription="https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2016-371-DD; Laboratory observations of sand transport over ripples at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Stennis Space Center, Mississippi.

Fourth, the following command run on all images in a folder to copy information into duplicate tags: exiftool "-XMP-photoshop:Credit<IPTC:Credit" "-XMP-iptcCore:CreatorWorkEmail<IPTC:Contact" "-XMP-dc:Rights<EXIF:Copyright" "-XMP-dc:Description<EXIF:ImageDescription" -overwrite_original -P *.TIF
To read out the complete imagery header information to a comma-separated values (CSV) file, run the following command line script: 'exiftool -csv *.tif > allheaders.csv'. Specific tags may be specified with this command, if preferred.
