This dataset provides the Matlab sediment transport and land accretion model at Wax Lake Delta (WLD), Atchafalaya Basin, in coastal Louisiana. The data include the Matlab scripts that solve the advection and Exner equations to simulate the suspended sediment transport and accretion at WLD. The model requires modeled flow information from a separate ANUGA hydrodynamic model as inputs. For this study, ANUGA modeled flow information from the Delta-X Spring and Fall 2021 campaigns were used as inputs. The ANUGA output files are converted to variables used by this Matlab model using pre-processing tools. The main code calculates suspended sediment fluxes and accretion rates of mud and sand as a function of space and time. The cumulative sediment accretion from each campaign was then used to estimate an annualized land accretion map using a weighted-average formula presented. The final product, the one-yr upscaled land accretion map, is archived as a separate dataset.

This dataset contains the Delft3D model of the Atchafalaya Basin along the Mississippi River Delta (MRD) in coastal Louisiana. Simulations cover the Delta-X Spring and Fall campaigns in 2021 and include hydrodynamics, waves, and sediment transport. Bottom friction was calibrated using AirSWOT water elevation data, while sediment parameters were calibrated using AVIRIS-NG Total Suspended Solids (TSS) data. All files required to run the simulations are included. Model output of water levels, velocity, and depth-averaged sediment concentration are provided for both campaigns as netCDF files. The dataset includes a netCDF file containing the annual inorganic mass accumulation rates derived from simulations.

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.

This dataset includes model code and output for a model that simulates changes in islands and small water channels of river delta systems in response to dynamics of sediment deposit, erosion, and changing water levels. Simulations demonstrate developmental cycles of secondary channels and how sediment dynamics can allow islands to build land vertically to keep pace with rising sea levels rather than passively drowning. The model was applied to the Mississippi River Delta as part of NASA's Delta-X project. Simulations were run for other river deltas, including the Amazon, Brahmputra, Danube, Magdalena, Nile, Orinoco, Parana, Rhine-Meuse, and Rhone rivers. The model code is provided in text format for MATLAB software. Files demonstrating initial model conditions and outputs are provided in binary MATLAB as well as NetCDF version 4 format.
