A ten-year numerical hindcast of hydrodynamics, hydrology and sediment dynamics in the Loire Estuary (France), produced by coupling the hydrodynamics model MARS3D with the sediment dynamics module MUSTANG and the wave spectral model WAVEWATCH III®. Numerical simulations are based on the same model chain used in the Seine Estuary (curviseine) and the Gironde Estuary (curvigironde).

Hydrodynamic and sediment transport simulations in the Gironde Estuary and the adjacent continental shelf based on MARS3D-MUSTANG model using curvilinear mesh grid, 2015 realistic forcing and hourly output time steps
