One-line model description Barrier-Bay-Marsh-Forest Transect Coupled Model Framework
Extended model description BarrierBMFT is a coupled model framework for exploring morphodynamic interactions across components of the entire coastal barrier system, from the ocean shoreface to the mainland forest. The model framework couples Barrier3D (Reeves et al., 2021), a spatially explicit model of barrier evolution, with the Python version of the Coastal Landscape Transect model (CoLT; Valentine et al., 2023), known as PyBMFT-C (Bay-Marsh-Forest Transect Model with Carbon). In the BarrierBMFT coupled model framework, two PyBMFT-C simulations drive evolution of back-barrier marsh, bay, mainland marsh, and forest ecosystems, and a Barrier3D simulation drives evolution of barrier and back-barrier marsh ecosystems. As these model components simultaneously advance, they dynamically evolve together by sharing information annually to capture the effects of key cross-landscape couplings. BarrierBMFT contains no new governing equations or parameterizations itself, but rather is a framework for trading information between Barrier3D and PyBMFT-C.

The use of this coupled model framework requires Barrier3D v2.0 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7604068)

and PyBMFT-C v1.0 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7853803).

Describe processes represented by the model Explores ecogeomorphic couplings between adjacent and non-adjacent components of the entire coastal barrier system, from the ocean shoreface to the mainland forest. Processes include: Dune growth and storm erosion; storm overwash; shoreline change (ocean and back-barrier); dynamic shoreface response to sea-level rise, overwash, and dune growth; horizontal and vertical marsh dynamics; bay depth changes with wind waves; marsh migration into coastal forests; sediment exchange between barrier-marsh-bay-forest ecosystems; and carbon processes associated with ecogeomorphic changes.
Describe key physical parameters and equations
Describe length scale and resolution constraints Cross-shore transect length can extend 10's of km from the ocean barrier shoreface into the mainland. Grid resolution on the barrier is 10 m, and 1 m spacing from the back-barrier marsh to the mainland.
Describe time scale and resolution constraints Time step: one year, with multiple storms occurring within each year

Duration: years to centuries
