This guide applies to WRF-SFIRE, available at https://github.com/openwfm/WRF-SFIRE. WRF-Fire from the WRF repository https://github.com/wrf-model/WRF is based on a limited version of this software from 2010, and it has evolved separately since then. This guide changes with the software and it complements the technical description in J. Mandel, J. D. Beezley, and A. K. Kochanski, Coupled atmosphere-wildland fire modeling with WRF 3.3 and SFIRE 2011, Geoscientific Model Development (GMD) 4, 591-610, 2011, doi:10.5194/gmd-4-591-2011 and J. Mandel, S. Amram, J. D. Beezley, G. Kelman, A. K. Kochanski, V. Y. Kondratenko, B. H. Lynn, B. Regev, M. Vejmelka, 2014, Recent advances and applications of WRF–SFIRE, Natural Hazards and Earth System Science, 14, 2829-2845, 2014, doi:10.5194/nhess-14-2829-2014.
