Supplementary Data for "Interplay of river and tidal forcings promotes loops in coastal channel networks"

This dataset contains supplemental data required to reproduce the results of the paper Interplay of river and tidal forcings promotes loops in coastal channel networks (in review at Geophysical Research Letters). We provide raw and extracted channel network data for 19 river deltas/coastal marsh sites. For each site, the following files are provided: XXX_base.tif : the raw binary mask of the river channel network XXX_clipper.shp (and associated .dbf, .prj, .qpj, and .shx files) : polygon(s) used to clip the raw mask XXX_clipped.tif : the binary mask of the river channel network after being clipped by XXX_clipper.shp XXX_filled.tif : the binary mask after filling islands via the method specified in the paper XXX_inlet_nodes.shp (and associated .dbf, .prj, .qpj, and .shx files) : locations of the inlet nodes; used by RivGraph XXX_shoreline.shp (and associated .dbf, .prj, .qpj, and .shx files) : location of the shoreline; used by RivGraph XXX_links.json : GeoJSON file containing the geometries, connectivities, and widths of each link in the network XXX_nodes.json : GeoJSON file containing the locations of each node of the network process_XXX.py : the python script used to generate the above files All files listed below (except .py files) are georeferenced (i.e. can be opened with QGIS, ArcGIS or another GIS). Exceptions to the provided files include: Barnstable: no "base.tif" is provided. Use "filled.tif". GBM: some hand-cleaning was performed on "filled.tif". Mackenize: "clipper.shp" is not provided, but "clipped.tif" is. Mississippi: "clipper.shp" is not provided as the mask was made from a shapefile. In order to run process_XXX.py, the RivGraph package will need to be installed. Instructions can be found at https://github.com/jonschwenk/RivGraph.
