      <abstract>An extensive set of physics-based XBeach Non-hydrostatic hydrodynamic model simulations (with input files here included) were used to evaluate the influence of shore-normal reef channels on flooding along fringing reef-lined coasts, specifically during extreme wave conditions when the risk for coastal flooding and the resulting impact to coastal communities is greatest.
These input files accompany the modeling conducted for the following publication: Storlazzi, C.D., Rey, A.E., and van Dongeren, A.R., 2022, A numerical study of geomorphic and oceanographic controls on wave-driven runup on fringing reefs with shore-normal channels: Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 10(6), 828, https://doi.org/10.3390/jmse10060828.</abstract>
      <purpose>Coral reefs are effective natural coastal flood barriers that protect adjacent communities. As of this time, no studies have been performed on the influence of shore-normal reef channels on flooding along fringing reef-lined coasts, specifically during extreme wave conditions when the risk for coastal flooding and the resulting impact to coastal communities is greatest. To address this knowledge gap, we used a physics-based numerical model, previously calibrated for fringing coral reefs, to conduct a parametric investigation of how variations in the reef and shore-normal channel morphology and oceanographic forcing influence waves, wave-driven water levels, and the resulting runup on fringing reef coasts.</purpose>

      <eaover>In this data release, the following zip files are included:

channel.zip (includes files for a base simulation with a channel)
nochannel.zip (includes files for a base simulation without a channel)

In each of the two folders, a batman ('run_model.bat') file is given, which defines the modeled profile dimension variations and forcing conditions. In addition, the folders contain the input files for the XBeach Non-hydrostatic runs for the various forcing conditions and profile parameters (including, but not limited to: params.txt, x.grd, beduni.dep, fric.txt).</eaover>
