Data processing code of the HU method to assess wave dissipation capacity of coastal and estuarine forested wetlands

Data processing code of HU method, which applies Ursell number as an index for the assessment of wave dissipation capacity by coastal and estuarine forested wetlands. The data processing procedure can be done with Python or MATLAB scripts, with a readme file. Before using the scripts, the users need to prepare measured data of significant wave height, water depth and peak wave period from field measurements or lab experiments. The distance between each station should also be prepared. An instruction of setting up field measuring transects and mechanism of the HU method can be find in the deposited file 'practice workflow.docx'. The Python codes are supported by Zhitong Jiang from School of Ecology, Environment and Resources, Guangdong University of Technology.
