%X This dataset includes laboratory measurements of both the force on individual salt marsh plants and the flow structure and wave energy dissipation over a meadow of plants.Data measured in the individual plant experiment (IE) was represented as synchronized measurements of plant drag and free surface displacement, as well as 3-dimensional velocity profiles provided as raw data, phase-averaged data, and statistical data. The meadow experiments (ME) provide time-varying data of free surface displacement along the meadow at 10 and 15 cm intervals, as well as velocity profiles upstream of and within the meadow with 1 to 2 cm vertical resolution. In addition, the turbulent kinetic energy for each measurements and the wave decay coefficients for all conditions were calculated and reported.
