Description:
Abstract:
The sensitivity to sediment parameterization and initial bed configuration on sediment transport processes and morphological evolution are assessed through process-based numerical modeling. Six sensitivity cases using a previously validated model for Dauphin Island, Alabama) are modeled using Delft3D (developed by Deltares) to understand impacts on bed level morphology, barrier island evolution, and sediment fluxes. Delft3D model output of suspended and bedload sediment fluxes, and final bed levels data are included in this dataset. Model output from six cases (comprised of three sensitivity configurations and two simulation types (deterministic Delft3D, and probabilistic Delft3D mormerge) as forced by 9 climatological wave forcing conditions are included in this data release. All simulations were initialized using the same initial Digital Elevation Model (DEM) DEM with nearshore and island topopbathy dated 2015 (Passeri and others, 2018). Climatological forcing bins were built from a 1979-2020 reanalysis wave record as applied in Jenkins and others, 2020. For further information regarding model input generation, set up, and analysis, refer to Jenkins and others (2020) and Passeri and others (2018).
Purpose:
Data were generated by the Delft3D model as output to assess model sensitivity to bed configuration, and sediment parameterization. Appropriate use of this data includes the assessment of morphological, sediment process, and hydrodynamic differences due to the inclusion of multiple sediment classes, and alternative model initial bed configurations. The AllCases_Final_BedLevels.zip is a dataset that consists of Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata record (.txt and .xml) and Network Common Data Form (NetCDF, .nc) files (under six scenarios: three sensitivity configurations and two simulation types (Delft3D, [one-month] and probabilistic, Delft3D mormerge [10-years]), as forced by 9 climatological wave forcing conditions) containing the following variables: coordinates of the model grid (Easting and Northing) and model elevations at final (final_depth) time steps of the Delft3D and Delft3D mormerge (Roelvink, 2006) runs (meters [m]; positive down).

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Deterministic and probabilistic validation simulations were run. Model output was evaluated against observed waves, water levels, and shoreline linear regression rates during that time-period and the model results accurately predicted the observed conditions. More information about model accuracy and validation is outlined in Jenkins and others (2020).
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The resultant final bed levels are the Delft3D and Delft3D mormerge run simulating the periods 2015/06/19 through 2015/07/19 and 2015/01/01 through 2025/01/01 for each model cell (Roelvink, 2006).
Completeness_Report:
These are the complete resultant final bed levels (meters; positive down) from the Delft3D and mormerge Delft3D run simulating the periods 2015/06/19 through 2015/07/19 and 2015/01/01 through 2025/01/01 (Roelvink, 2006). This dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract section. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.

Process_Description:
The Delft3D model simulated process-based morphological change resultant from hydrodynamic action (including waves) and sediment transport. Model setup is outlined in Jenkins and others (2020). Boundary conditions in the form of a wave climatology and harmonic water level boundary forcing are also outlined in Jenkins and others (2020). The model was initialized with a given bathymetry (see Jenkins and others, 2020) which is the initial bed level. In the course of a ten-year Delft3D run, a final resultant bed level (final_depth) was produced as a weighted average of all forcing bins, under six cases: three sensitivity configurations and two model simulation modes (Delft3D and Delft3D-mormerge (Roelvink, 2006)). Model convention is positive values "down" (below mean water level) and negative values "up" (above mean water level).

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Model final bed levels were extracted in MathWorks MATLAB (R2015a) with functions included in the OpenEarth toolbox (provided by Deltares; https://publicwiki.deltares.nl/display/OET/Tools). The resulting hydrodynamic variables from the model grid were then packaged into a NetCDF file (.nc) using the functions available in MATLAB for inclusion in this data release. This step was completed for six scenarios: three sensitivity configurations and two simulation types (Delft3D and Delft3D mormerge) and were packaged into a zipped file. Please see the Resource_Description section for more information.
