| Summary: | Coastal storms are highly unpredictable phenomena, frequently changing their characteristics and directly linked to global climate changes. They result in an intensive erosion processes and, are now a serious concern for the communities inhabiting the littoral zones. However, owing to the technical difficulties in registering morphological changes on cliff coasts, most short-term monitoring systems, analyses, and models have been implemented primarily along the dune coasts. Notwithstanding these difficulties, the changes on cliff coasts have been investigated quantitatively in order to properly identify the mechanisms controlling those phenomena. Here, we report on three soft-cliff systems in the southern Baltic Sea that were monitored with the use of terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) technology. A time series of thirteen topographic surveys were generated over a period of two years (12.2016–04.2018) and presented as coastal profiles with 50 meter spacing.
