Delta-X: Delft3D Sediment Model, Site 421, Terrebonne Basin, MRD, Louisiana, USA

Published by ORNL_DAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: February 21, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-02-17
This dataset contains the Delft3D model of the intensive site 421 in the Terrebonne Basin along the Mississippi River Delta (MRD) in coastal Louisiana. Simulations cover the Delta-X Spring and Fall deployments in 2021 and include hydrodynamics and sediment transport. All files required to run the simulations are included. The model's output of water velocity and depth-averaged sediment concentrations are provided for both deployments. The dataset includes annual inorganic mass accumulation rates derived through modelling intra-annual variability in water levels and suspended sediment concentrations. The data are provided in netCDF format.
