Descriptions
This dataset compiles quantitative outputs from eight sandbox experiments conducted under different boundary conditions (differential extension, strong blocks, and a weak zone). It contains 3-D scanning–derived digital elevation models (DEMs) from the final stage of experiments simulating the V-shaped opening of the South China Sea. In addition, it includes particle image velocimetry (PIV) products at four extension states (25 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm, and 100 mm), together with the plotting codes used to generate the figures.
