Delta-X: Delft3D Broad-Scale Sediment Model, Terrebonne Basin, MRD, Louisiana, USA

This dataset contains the Delft3D model of the Terrebonne 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. The model's output of water levels, velocity, and depth-averaged sediment concentrations are provided for both campaigns as netCDF files. The dataset includes a netCDF file containing the annual inorganic mass accumulation rates derived through a storms analysis and modelling.
