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 GrandBay_ValidationPeriod_Wave_Waterlevel.zip is a dataset that consists of Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata (.txt and .xml) and a Network Common Data Form (NetCDF, .nc) file containing the following variables: coordinates of the time-series observation point (Easting and Northing), and processed resultant time-series of water level (meters) and significant wave height (meters) at a set of observational output points from a three-week deterministic Delft3D validation run for the period from 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 reproduced the observed conditions. More validation is outlined in greater detail in Jenkins and others (2023b) Logical_Consistency_Report: The resultant water levels (wl) and significant wave heights (hs), each in meters, from the deterministic Delft3D validation run simulating the period 2017/01/03 through 2017/01/23 are given at each observational output points. Completeness_Report: These are the complete processed resultant instantaneous water levels (wl) and significant wave heights (hs), each in meters, from the deterministic Delft3D run simulating the period 2017/01/03 through 2017/01/23. 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.

Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The Delft3D model simulated process-based deterministic hydrodynamics. 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). Output locations of observational points are placed within the model domain. In the course of a three-week Delft3D run, resultant water levels (wl) and significant wave heights (hs), each in meters, are produced and are output at hourly intervals.
