CurviLoire Hindcast

A ten-year numerical hindcast of hydrodynamics, hydrology and sediment dynamics in the Loire Estuary (France), produced by coupling the hydrodynamics model MARS3D with the sediment dynamics module MUSTANG and the wave spectral model WAVEWATCH III®. Numerical simulations are based on the same model chain used in the Seine Estuary (curviseine) and the Gironde Estuary (curvigironde).

Directory architecture

/hydro (NetCDF) half-hourly variables for water parameters (level, current, temperature, salinity), waves (significant height, direction), and Suspended Sediment Concentrations of mud (diameter d < 63 µm), sands (very fine sand, d = 100 µm; fine sand, d = 200 µm; medium sand, d = 450 µm) and gravel (d = 1 mm).

/sedim (NetCDF) half-hourly variables for bed properties (wave-induced, current-induced and total bed shear stresses, bottom orbital velocities, sediment thickness and composition)
