The Relative Role of Bar Morphology on Wave Runup and Hydrodynamics: Model Inputs

This data release contains two sets (reflective and dissipative) of synthesized barred beach profiles based on conditions in the University of New South Wales Water Research Laboratory's 0.9-meter wave flume. The profiles were collected using the methods outlined in Conti and others (2024) and then synthesized using the functions and relationships described by Stephens and others (2010) and Ruessink and others (2003). Each set of profiles contain a barless version to allow comparisons between barred and planar beaches.
