DESCRIPTION

Python codes and outputs for a suite of dorado particle tracking simulations to quantify patterns of material transport in the Wax Lake and Atchafalaya Delta system. Each run corresponds to some combination of discharge (Q, high or low), tides (A, steady or unsteady), and approximate material (theta, 0-2). Particles are routed for one week on top of ANUGA flow fields using the CPM model [link to other folder], and the nourishment area of each simulation is extracted to compare between different materials and conditions. See README.txt for more details.
