Model Grids

Two different model grids were used in creating the modeling results presented. The first grid ("Scenarios Grid") was used for all wave scenario results (e.g., "Hydrodynamic Scenario Output", "Surface Residual Ball and Sediment Scenario Output", and "Weighted Results for All Scenarios".) The second grid ("Tidal Grid"), which included better resolution around tidal inlets, was used for the tidal simulations (e.g., "Mobility Variability over a Tidal Cycle" and "Tidal Cycle Mobility Animations".)
