Description:

Abstract:

The model input for the bathymetry and topography values resulting from a deterministic simulation at Dauphin Island, Alabama, as described in U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report 2019-1139 (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191139), are provided here. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output topography and bathymetry refer to Mickey and others (2020).

Purpose:

These data were generated for the Delft 3D, EDGR, and XBeach models to indicate how Dauphin Island evolved over the span of approximately 10 years. The merged topographic and bathymetric digital elevation model (DEM) is included in the download file, Initial_Model_DEM.zip as a Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) file. This dataset consists of Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata and a NetCDF file, Initial_DEM.nc, containing the following variables: coordinates of the model grid (Easting and Northing) and the initial bathymetry/topography elevation (z) model grid.
