One-line model description A spatially explicit model of coastal barrier evolution
Extended model description Barrier3D is an exploratory model that resolves cross-shore and alongshore topographic variations to simulate the morphological evolution of a barrier segment over time scales of years to centuries. Barrier3D tackles the scale separation between event-based and long-term models by explicitly yet efficiently simulating dune evolution, storm overwash, and a dynamically evolving shoreface in response to individual storm events and sea-level rise. Ecological-geomorphological couplings of the barrier interior can be simulated with a shrub expansion and mortality module.

barrier, coastal, overwash, dunes, ecogemorphology, sea-level rise,

Describe input parameters 1) barrier3d-parameters.yaml: yaml-formatted text file containing initial values for all static and dynamic variables

2) barrier3d-elevation.npy: Initial interior elevation grid

3) barrier3d-storms.npy: Stochastically generated sequence of storms (generated by randomly sampling from a list of synthetic storms)

4) barrier3d-dunes.npy: Initial height of dune cells

5) barrier3d-growthparam.npy: Alongshore varying growth rates for the dune domain

If desired, (3-5) can be generated within the model run script to create unique conditions for each run - e.g., instead of using the same storm history by drawing from the a single barrier3d-storms.npy file, a new storm series can be stochastically generated for each run.

Describe processes represented by the model - Stochastically generated storm environment

- Dune growth and storm erosion - Storm overwash - Sea-level rise - Shoreline change (ocean and back-barrier) - Dynamic shoreface response to sea-level rise, overwash, and dune growth - Interior shrub expansion and mortality

Describe key physical parameters and equations
Describe length scale and resolution constraints The model operates over a 10-by-10 m grid; the alongshore length of the barrier segment can range from hundreds to thousands of meters.
Describe time scale and resolution constraints Time step: one year, with multiple storms occurring within each year

Duration: years to millennia
