Description:
Abstract:
The effects of interior headland restoration on estuarine sediment transport processes are assessed through process-based numerical modeling. 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_AllBins_WaveOutput.zip is a dataset that consists of Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata (.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)) containing the following variables: coordinates of the model grid (Easting and Northing) and three-hourly model significant wave height (meters), peak period (seconds), mean direction (degrees; nautical convention), bottom orbital velocity (meters per second), wave energy dissipation (Newtons per meter per second), and wave energy transport component vectors (Watts per meter) for the one-year mormerge (Roelvink, 2006) scenario.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
A deterministic validation simulation was run for the period of 2017/01/03 through 2017/01/23. 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 resultant wave variables of 'hs' (significant wave height), 'tp' (peak period), 'dir' (mean direction), 'ubot' (bottom orbital velocity), 'dissip' (dissipation) and 'etrans' (wave energy transport component vectors) from the mormerge Delft3D run simulating the period 2020/01/01 through 2021/01/01 are the three-hourly hs, tp, dir, ubot, dissip and component vectors of energy transport at each model cell (Roelvink, 2006).
Completeness_Report:
These are the complete resultant wave variables of hs (significant wave height), tp (peak period), dir (mean direction), ubot (bottom orbital velocity), dissip (dissipation) and etrans (wave energy transport component vectors) 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.

Process_Description:
The Delft3D model simulates 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). Simulated wave variables of significant wave height (hs), peak period (tp), mean direction (dir), bottom orbital velocity (ubot), wave energy dissipation (dissip) and wave energy transport component vectors (etrans_x and etrans_y) are output every 180 minutes (three-hourly) as produced by each of 18 climatological wind and wave forcing bins, under six scenarios: three restoration alternatives (R0, R1, and R2) and two sea level conditions (S0 and S1).

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Model three-hourly wave output was extracted in MathWorks MATLAB (R2015a) with functions included in the OpenEarth toolbox (provided by Deltares; https://publicwiki.deltares.nl/display/OET/Tools). The resulting wave 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. Please see the Resource_Description section for more information.
