This data set accompanies the scientific publication "Hydrodynamics of four moments in the life of a floodplain forest in compound channels" in the peer-reviewed journal Water Resources Research (WRR / ISSN 1944-7973 / Wiley). This dataset contains processed hydraulic variables derived from controlled experimental measurements conducted in a laboratory scale compound-channel, with a floodplain forest patch representing different stages of forest succession. The data represent time-averaged and spatially averaged quantities describing water depth, flow velocity, discharge, mixing layer properties, and momentum exchange. The data set consists of 1. Time averaged water depth 2. Time- and depth averaged flow velocity 3. Time- and sub-sectionally averaged flow velocity 4. Mixing layer characteristics 5. Time- and sub-sectionally averaged flow discharge 6. Transversal exchange of streamwise momentum
