The scripts in this directory are developed to analyse the past behaviour and estimate the expected development of the coastline at a part of coastal area Schouwen in The Netherlands.

These scripts can be used freely for research purposes provided that the following source is acknowledged: DELTARES.

Prerequisites:
Python package for handling JarKus netCDF files: https://github.com/openearth/jarkus
Up-to-date netCDF files (at least containing the area of interest between transect 1248 and 1425 of Schouwen) of
 - jarkus transects (transect.nc, created with https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthrawdata/trunk/rijkswaterstaat/jarkus/scripts/jarkus_convert.m)
 - dunefoot (DF.nc, created with https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthrawdata/trunk/rijkswaterstaat/DuneFoot/scripts/convertDF2nc.m)
 - MHW/MLW (MHW_MLW.nc, created with https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthrawdata/trunk/rijkswaterstaat/MHW_MLW/scripts/MW2nc.m)
 - nourishments (nourishments.nc, created with https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthrawdata/trunk/rijkswaterstaat/suppleties/scripts/nourishments2nc.py)

If final products of the required netCDF files are not yet available, you could create a preliminary version and use netCDF Operators to reduce the files to just the area of interest (in order to reduce the file size and make it acceptable to commit these binary files in this repository under ./data). For the dune foot data the netCDF Operators command would be like (ncks stands for netCDF kitchen sink):
ncks -d alongshore,1897,1907 DF.nc DF_kop_van_schouwen.nc

Please note: check carefully the urls and path of datafiles used in the scripts mentioned below! Some of them might be tailored to preliminary versions in the repository rather than final versions on opendap.deltares.nl/thredds.


Procedure to create figures and tables:
 - run dunefoot.py: this generates *_hist.txt and historical.kml
 - run prognose.py: this generates *_prognose.txt and *_prognose.png
   - requires: *_hist.txt
 - run nourishment_volumes.py: this generates nourishment_volumes.pdf and nourishment_volumes.png
 - run makekml.py:
   - requires: dune_foot_upperMKL_cross_prognose.txt
 - run adjust years in https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthtools/trunk/python/applications/jarkus_transects/jarkus/plot.py and run to plot cross-shore profiles

Don't forget to commit newly provided data files and modifications in the scripts.
