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).
