Revision as of 19:08, 16 October 2011

This guide applies to the code as available from OpenWFM.org and partly also to WRF-Fire, which is a subset available in WRF release. This guide evolves 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.
