| One-line model description | simulates cross shore coastal respons at millenium scale |
| Extended model description | BarSim is an event driven 2D multiple grain size process-response model to simulate shoreface-shelf evolution and stratigraphic response as driven by changes in sea level, sediment supply and wave characteristics. It simulates barrier island formation, migration, overstep and strandplain formation. |

| Input - Output description | |
|---|---|
| Describe input parameters | sea level curve, wave characteristics, sediment supply, initial bathymetry, grain size distribution, substrate grainsize distribution, tidal range, minimum timestep |
| Input format | ASCII |
| Other input format | |
| Describe output parameters | post script file of stratigraphic record, numerical output of temporal positions wavebase, coastline, barrier island width, mainland position. |
| Output format | ASCII |
| Other output format | Post script |

| Visualization software needed? | Yes |
| If above answer is yes | |
| Other visualization software | e.g. excel and ghostview |
| Process description model | |
|---|---|
| Describe processes represented by the model | crossshore sediment transport by behaviour rules both offshore directed (shoreface-shelf) and onshore (washover) |
| Describe key physical parameters and equations | Shoreface-shelf erosion is an exponential function of waterdepth and wave base position. On and offshore deposition are two exponential functions of distance to the shoreline. Combined they result in offshore erosion/deposition thickness and onshore washover thickness. |
| Describe length scale and resolution constraints | Typical profile length is between 10-50 km. Gridcell 50-100m. |
| Describe time scale and resolution constraints | timestep 1 year and up; dependent on the chosen event magnitude-frequency distribution |
