Description:
Abstract:
The model input and output of topography and bathymetry values resulting from forecast simulations of coupled modeling scenarios occurring between 2015 and 2025 at Dauphin Island, Alabama, and described in U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report 2020–1001 (https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20201001), 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, empirical dune growth (EDGR), and XBeach models to forecast how Dauphin Island may evolve over a span of approximately 10 years with different storm, sea level rise, and restoration alternative scenarios (R2-R7). 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_Model_DEM.nc, containing the following variables: coordinates of the model grid (Easting and Northing) and the initial bathymetry/topography elevation (z) model grid. In addition to coordinate information, Initial_Model_DEM_R2.nc–Initial_Model_DEM_R7.nc contain initial elevation grids for each restoration alternative (zR2-zR7).
