Data and code for: New outdoor experimental river facility to study river dynamics (article submission)

The Outdoor Experimental River Facility (OERF) dataset includes (i) numerical compilations used for facility/natural-river comparisons, (ii) grain-size distributions and derived transport metrics, (iii) photogrammetric products (phase digital surface models) and derivatives used to quantify topographic change, (iv) velocity profile data from an acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) near the inlet perturbation, and (v) text files that list source publications for the comparative facility figure.

Folder structure mirrors manuscript figure numbering: • Fig01_outdoor_facility_publications – plain-text bibliographies used to compile published outdoor-facility examples. • Fig03_OERF_comparison – tabular datasets for natural rivers, indoor flumes, OERF envelope, and a MATLAB script to generate the synthetic OERF combinations. • Fig04_GSD – grain-size distribution (CDF/PDF) and derived series (Wilcock–Crowe transport per class, Rouse number). • Fig06_Physical_response – depth time series and digitized surface grain-size response across phases. • Fig07_DEM – phase digital surface models exported as .xyz (2 mm resolution; processed in PIX4D; 10 m flight altitude; GCP network measured with TS15 over GNSS-RTK benchmarks). • Fig08_velocity – ADV velocity profiles and summary streamwise statistics.
