Dataset for modeling the hydrological patterns and salinity fluctuations of a Mediterranean confined coastal lagoon system (La Pletera salt marsh area, NE Spain).

ABSTRACT: This dataset is related to the research article entitled "Effects of morphology and sediment permeability on coastal lagoons' hydrological patterns" (W. Meredith, X. Casamitjana, X. D. Quintana, A. Menció) [1], and was obtained in the La Pletera salt marshes in Catalunya between 2016 and 2019, to model the water balance and salinity fluctuations of 6 permanent lagoons using the General Lake Model (GLM). As no inflow and outflow data were available, water level and bathymetric data were used to calculate the net balance of inflows and outflows according to the observed daily volume fluctuations. Meteorological data were obtained from the L´Estartit Meteorological station north of the lagoons. Daily solar radiation was measured in Mas Badia (La Tallada, ∼10km from the La Pletera) in 2016 and
