Also included are the history and map data files produced by the modeling runs from which all data presented in the article was extracted for our analyses. Please note that file names in these subfolders with the “_v9” designation are those files representing the version of the model run in which there is no erosion operating, while those file names with the “_v10” designation are those for the version of the model in which erosion is operating. See the Methods section - Experimental design and choice of boundary conditions in the article for discussion of the negligible influence of erosion in the model. The name of a given fold indicates the vegetation, discharge, and tidal boundary conditions used for that given model run. The naming convention of the folders corresponds with the designations used in the article. For example: V0Q0T0.zip contains all the Delft3D set up and data files for the model run in which no vegetation populated the deltaic islands (V0), a steady state discharge of 2000 m3 s-1 was applied at the upstream boundary (Q0), and a steady state water level of 0.2 m relative to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) was applied at the downstream boundaries (T0). V0 = no vegetation on the delta; V1 = minimum vegetation coverage on the delta; V2 = maximum vegetation cover on the delta Q0 = steady state discharge; Q1 = low magnitude riverine floodwave; Q2 = medium magnitude riverine floodwave; Q3 = high magnitude riverine floodwave T0 = steady state water levels; T1 = low amplitude semi-diurnal tide; T2 = medium amplitude semi-diurnal tide; T3 = high amplitude semi-diurnal tide Please see the Methods section - Experimental design and choice of boundary conditions in the article, as well as the Supplementary Material document for further explanation of the varied boundary conditions and the model run name conventions, respectively. The model set up files can be viewed using Delft3D FLOW software and the history and map data files produced by the model can be viewed using Delft3D QUICKPLOT. Data from these history and map files can also be converted into formats that allow them to be viewed and analyzed in other software, such as MATLAB using the QUICKPLOT application. For any additional information about settings within the model set up files, please refer to the Methods section of the article and the Delft3D FLOW User Manual.
