Code to find the critical barrier width for coastal overwash, see Chen et al. (2019)
Critical barrier width can be obtained from two scripts, (1) first a javascript within the Google Earth Engine interface, next (2) postprocessing in Matlab.

Google Earth Engine scripts: The following script generates a kml file of yearly barrier island outlines from 1984 to 2018. https://code.earthengine.google.com/5ad3eddacd69bafc90ef4db01f77a1ff

Matlab scripts: In the script Critical_width.m you can import a kml file to generate a barrier overwash vs. barrier width plot
