    "descript": "This dataset contains the reef profiles and resulting hydrodynamic outputs of the \"Broad-range Estimator of Wave Attack in Reef Environments\" (BEWARE-2) meta-process modeling system. A process-based, wave-resolving hydrodynamic model (XBeach Non-Hydrostatic+, \"XBNH+\") was used to create a large synthetic database for use in BEWARE-2, relating incident hydrodynamics and coral reef geomorphology to coastal flooding hazards on reef-lined coasts. Building on previous work, BEWARE-2 improves system understanding of reef hydrodynamics by examining the intrinsic reef and extrinsic forcing factors controlling runup and flooding on reef-lined coasts. We developed this meta-process model using a training dataset of hydrodynamics and wave runup computed by XBNH+ for 440 combinations of water level, wave height, and wave period on 195 morphologically diverse representative reef profiles. In validation, the BEWARE-2 modeling system produced runup results that had a root-mean square error of 0.63 m and bias of 0.26 m, relative to runup of 0.17 to 20.9 m simulated by XBNH+ for a large range of oceanographic forcing conditions and for a diverse reef morphologies. This relatively accurate solution is provided by the BEWARE-2 modeling system 4 to 5 orders of magnitude faster than the full, process-based hydrodynamic model and could therefore be integrated in large-scale early-warning systems for tropical, reef-lined coasts, as well as used for large-scale flood risk assessments.  These data accompany the following publication: McCall, R.T., Storlazzi, C.D., Roelvink, F.E., Pearson, S.G., de Goede, R., Antolinez, J., 2024, Rapid simulation of wave runup on morphologically-diverse, reef-lined coasts with the BEWARE-2 meta-process model: Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5194\/nhess-2024-28.",

Distributions are records of currents, physical properties, or biogeochemical water properties, often based on shipboard surveys or coastal monitoring programs, and maps of currents or water property climatology, which indicate the expected locations of features under present conditions or apply a classification structure like that of CMECS. Assessments are data that provide information about the ecological or economic values, impacts, drivers, connections, or functions of water column features in their present distributions. Predictions are the results of models projecting future changes to currents or other persistent oceanographic features (for example, clines, stratification, connectivity, linkages, and zones of separation) due to climate change, ice-cap melt, and changing freshwater inputs; models predicting the ecological or economic impacts of these changes; and scenario-testing models comparing ecological or economic outcomes of different management actions."
