Six sensitivity cases using a previously validated model for Dauphin Island, Alabama were 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) 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_Sediment_Fluxes.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 cross-section end points (Easting and Northing), cross-section orientation (north-south or east-west) and processed resultant time-series of instantaneous sediment flux (meters-cubed per second) and cumulative sediment fluxes (meters-cubed) through a set of observational cross-sections produced by 9 climatological wind and wave forcing conditions during a one-month Delft3D run.

Model output was evaluated against observed waves and water levels during that time-period. 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 sediment fluxes are the sediment fluxes output on several cross sections during the one-month Delft3D run simulating the periods 2015/06/19 through 2015/07/19. Completeness_Report: These are the complete resultant sediment fluxes from the 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. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Within the Delft3D model, the horizontal coordinates were projected to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 16 North (16N) coordinate system with an approximate resolution of 5 m. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Within the Delft3D model, the vertical positions were projected to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) with an estimated resolution of 0.01 m. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The Delft3D model simulated process-based deterministic morphological change and sediment fluxes resultant from hydrodynamic action (including waves) and sediment transport. Boundary conditions in the form of a wave and water level boundary forcing are also outlined in Jenkins and others (2020). Output locations of observational cross-sections were placed within the model domain. Over a one-month Delft3D run, sediment fluxes were produced under three cases: three sensitivity configurations and one model simulation mode (Delft3D). Model convention for positive values is in the positive x-direction or y-direction (depending on cross-section orientation). Instantaneous sediment flux (meters-cubed per second) and cumulative sediment flux (meters-cubed) were output at hourly intervals.

The resulting sediment flux 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. Upon writing to NetCDF files, dimensional data related to observational cross-sections was also included. Dimensions described in the NetCDF header include: 'n,' the singleton dimension for cross-section end coordinates; 'xy,' number of x-y values used to describe end points; 'i,' the singleton dimension for cross-section end coordinates; 'nn,' the number of cross-section orientation values; 't,' time; and 's,' number of observational cross-sections. This step was completed for three cases: three sensitivity configurations and one model simulation mode (Delft3D) and were packaged into a zipped file.
