This folder contains all numerical input files and output files to support conclusions for the paper:

Climate adaptation for a natural atoll island in the Maldives
- predicting the long-term morphological response of coral islands to sea level rise and the effect of hazard mitigation strategies

F. E. Roelvink, G. Masselink, C. Stokes, and R. T. McCall 

XBeach input files and output files are included for eight adaptation scenarios, following the labelling as described in Table 2 of the paper:

A0 : No adaptation
A1 : Coral degradation
A2 : Fore reef restoration
A3 : Artificial reef outer
A4 : Artificial reef mid
A5 : Artificial reef inner
A6 : Berm top barrier
[-]: Static island (no morphological response)

Each scenario zip folder (e.g., A0_no_adaptation.zip) contains 244 subfolders:
- storm_1 to storm_243: the XBeach input files for the individual storm events
- output: xbeach results xboutput1.nc to xboutput243.nc for the storm events. 

Because of the large storage space required for the original database (>100Gb), the XBeach output file size has been reduced, containing only relevant information:
- Global bed level output (zb) at half hourly time steps
- High time-resolution point output for water levels and velocities (point_zs, point_uu) for spectral analysis, 
	for observations points 'obs_57', 'obs_5', 'obs_13', 'obs_21' (offshore, fore reef, reef crest, and beach toe locations, respectively)
- Runup (last column of point_zs, 'rugaug001')
