Description
This dataset provides sediment transport and land accretion model results at Wax Lake Delta (WLD), Atchafalaya Basin, in coastal Louisiana, USA. Data were simulated over the Delta-X Spring 2021 (2021-03-21 to 2021-04-03) and Fall 2021 (2021-08-14 to 2021-08-27) campaigns and the results are presented as annualized land accretion rate map. The model results for these two short-term campaigns are used to calculate the 1-year upscale land accretion rate at WLD in post-processing, which is also provided in this dataset. Model results for these two short-term campaigns were derived using inputs from an ANUGA hydrodynamic model. The Matlab sediment transport and land accretion model used to derive these data employs sediment transport theory that models floc behavior using a non-cohesive sediment transport framework. Data are presented in NetCDF (*.nc) format.
