Abstract
This dataset includes model input, code, and output used in the publication Birchler et al. (2018, Journal of Coastal Research), which used a coupled hydrodynamic-sediment transport-geochemical model to investigate the roles of resuspension, deposition, on biodiffusion on the behavior of short-lived radioisotopes on the Mississippi sub-aqueous delta, USA. Model development for this project focused on incorporating radioisotope tracers into the sediment transport module in the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). As described in Birchler et al. (2018, Journal of Coastal Research), the model can account for supply and sorption of radioisotope tracers in the water column; biodiffusion of radioisotope tracers within the seabed; storage of radioisotope activity and inventory in the seabed; radioisotope decay in the seabed; and resuspension and removal of radioisotope tracers.
