Three proposed interior headland restoration scenarios in the Grand Bay estuary (Mississippi/Alabama) are modeled using Delft3D (developed by Deltares) to understand impacts on suspended sediment concentrations, bed level morphology and sediment fluxes under present-day conditions and a sea level rise of 0.5 meters (m). Delft3D model output of suspended sediment concentrations (SSC), sediment fluxes, initial and final bed levels, and hydrodynamic data are included in this dataset. Model output from six scenarios (comprised of three restoration (R) alternatives and two sea level (SL) conditions) as forced by 18 climatological wind and wave forcing conditions are included in this data release (Jenkins and others, 2023a). For further information regarding model input generation, set up, and analysis, refer to Jenkins and others (2023b). Purpose: Data were generated by the Delft3D model as output to assess effects of interior headland restoration. Appropriate use of this data includes the assessment of morphological, sediment process, and hydrodynamic differences due to the placement of restored features and sea level for the Grand Bay estuary. The AllScenarios_Initial_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 restoration alternatives (R0, R1, and R2) and two sea level conditions (S0 and S1), as forced by 18 climatological wind and wave forcing conditions) containing the following variables: coordinates of the model grid (Easting and Northing) and model elevations at the initial (initial_depth) and final (final_depth) time steps of a one-year Delft3D mormerge (Roelvink, 2006) run (meters; positive down).

Model output was evaluated against observed waves and water levels 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 (2023b) Logical_Consistency_Report: The initial and resultant final bed levels are the mormerge Delft3D run simulating the period 2020/01/01 through 2021/01/01 for each model cell (Roelvink, 2006). Completeness_Report: These are the complete initial and resultant final bed levels (meters; positive down) from the mormerge Delft3D run simulating the period 2020/01/01 through 2021/01/01 (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 probabilistic morphological change resultant from hydrodynamic action (including waves) and sediment transport. Model setup is outlined in Jenkins and others (2023b). Boundary conditions in the form of a wind and wave climatology and harmonic water level boundary forcing are also outlined in Jenkins and others (2023b). The model was initialized with a given bathymetry dependent upon restoration alternatives (see Jenkins and others, 2023b) which is the initial bed level (intial_depth; meters; positive down). In the course of a one-year Delft3D run, a final resultant bed level (final_depth) was produced as a weighted average of all forcing bins, under six scenarios: three restoration alternatives (R0, R1, and R2) and two sea level conditions (S0 and S1). Model convention is positive values "down" (below mean water level) and negative values "up" (above mean water level).

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 (Jenkins and others, 2023a). This step was completed for six scenarios: three restoration alternatives (R0, R1, and R2) and two sea level conditions (S0 and S1) and were packaged into a zipped file.
