Coastline

When selecting output for the coastline you can select basic output variables and additional output variables.

The basic output variables are

·         Coastline X

·         Coastline Y

·         Accumulated shoreline change

·         Deposited volume

·         Littoral drift

·         Offshore transport

The extended output variables are

·         Net offshore transport

·         Net littoral drift

·         Gross littoral drift

·         Vertical area

·         Shoreline change

·         Actual deposited volume

·         Dune foot x coordinate

·         Dune foot y coordinate

·         Dune foot z coordinate

·         Dune erosion volume

·         Dune volume

Littoral drift rates are defined positive along the coastline (i.e. in the direction of the x-axis of the dfs1 file).

NOTE: Output of coastline variables is only available when using the Shore­line Morphology module. Output of extended output dune variables is only available when using the Parameterized Dune Erosion option.
