Model:Wetland3P

Wetland3P

Also known as	Wetland 3 point
Model type	Single
Model part of larger framework
Note on status model
Date note status model

Incorporated models or components:

Spatial dimensions	1D
Spatial extent	Landscape-Scale
Model domain	Coastal
One-line model description	A 3-point dynamic model for the morphological evolution of a backbarrier basin composed by marshes and mudflats
Extended model description	The model simplifies the geometry of a backbarrier tidal basin with 3 variables: marsh depth, mudflat depth, mudflat width. These 3 variables are evolved by sediment redistribution driven by wave processes. Sediment are exchanged with the open ocean, which is an external reservoir. Organic sediments are produced on the marsh platform.
