Data

In the case where the coastline is specified by a xy file you have to prepare an ascii file with extension .xy (or .xyz) containing the geographical coordi­nates of the coastline. The file format is two (or three) space separated floats (real numbers) for the x- and y-coordinate on separate lines for each of the points (in case of three columns in the file x and y are derived from the first two columns). You must also select the map projection in which you have specified the geographical coordinates.

NOTE: (.xy) or (.xyz) input files must be provided in metric unit [m]

In the case where the coastline is specified by a dfs1 file you have to prepare a profile file (dfs1) containing the geographical coordinates of the coastline. The x- and y-coordinate will per default be derived from item 1 and item 2, respectively, from the first time step in the file.
