Using the numerical model XBeach version 4926 (Roelvink and others, 2009), hurricanes Ivan (2004) and Katrina (2005) were simulated at Dauphin Island, Alabama, under present-day conditions and future sea level rise scenarios as described in Passeri and others, 2018. The XBeach model setup requires the input of a merged topographic and bathymetric digital elevation model (DEM), and inputs of wave spectra (based on significant wave height, peak wave period and wave direction) and water level (tide and surge) time series. Model inputs and outputs in the form of topography and bathymetry are provided in this data release. For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output topography and bathymetry, refer to Passeri and others, 2018.
These data were generated for the XBeach model to examine the effects of storm surge under sea level rise on barrier island morphology. Initial_Elevations.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: coordinates of the model grid (Easting and Northing) and the initial bathymetric/topographic (z) model elevation values, in meters.

The initial DEM contains topographic and bathymetric elevations at each model grid cell and serves as input for each scenario.
This DEM contains the complete initial model grid elevation. 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.
This DEM contains the initial model topographic and bathymetric elevations.
Within the XBeach model, the coordinates are in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM).
Vertical datum is in North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) with an estimated resolution of 0.01 m.

Seamless topographic and bathymetric DEM used to generate initial model elevations.
Mathworks MATLAB (R2015a) was used to interpolate the seamless DEM from Danielson and others, 2013 onto the model grid using Triangulation-based linear interpolation with the function, griddata.
This merged topographic and bathymetric dataset provides the initial model elevations used to simulate each of the Hurricane Ivan and Hurricane Katrina scenarios.
