Description:
Abstract:
The numerical model Delft3D (developed by Deltares) was developed to evaluate the potential effects of proposed navigation channel deepening and widening in Mobile Harbor, Alabama (AL). The Delft3D model setup requires the input of a merged topographic and bathymetric elevations, a wave climate based on significant wave heights, peak wave period and mean wave direction, and a tidal-time series. The model was validated by comparing model outputs from deterministic runs with observations of water levels and velocities. The validated model was used to simulate scenarios of existing conditions and proposed with-project conditions (for example, channel deepening and widening). Simulations were performed for one year (the year 2010) and ten years, with and without 0.5 meters (m) of sea level rise. Model inputs and outputs in the form of topography and bathymetry for the scenario runs as well as output water levels and velocities for the deterministic runs are provided in this data release. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output topography and bathymetry, refer to USGS Open-File Report 2018-1123.
Purpose:
These data were generated for the Delft3D model to evaluate the potential effects of proposed navigation channel deepening and widening in Mobile Harbor, AL. Deterministic_20150619_20151120.zip is a dataset that consists of Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata and a Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) file containing the following variables: hourly water levels, in meters (NAVD88), extracted at the location of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Dauphin Island tide gauge (8735180) for the deterministic scenario run from June 19, 2005 through November 20, 2005.

Process_Description:
The Delft3D model simulates morphologic change that results from hydrodynamic impacts and sediment transport. Model setup and boundary conditions in the form of a wave climatology and tidal time-series are outlined in USGS Open-File Report 2018-1123. Simulated model water levels, in meters, are output at the end of each scenario.

Process_Description:
Model water level 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 water levels from the model grid were then packaged into a NetCDF file using the functions available in MATLAB for inclusion in this data release.
