Current wish list

• Restart done
• Read topography from file in ideal run
• Smoothing the terrain gradients for fire spread
• Canopy fire
• Output to WRF-Chem

Anything more? Jmandel 18:59, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed input of additional data in ideal run

• Single topography for both the atmosphere and the fire models - from an arbitrary uniform mesh aligned with coordinate axes
• Fuel data for the fire model - at the centers of the fire mesh
• Surface data for WRF - see e.g. /dyn_em/module_initialize_seabreeze2d_x.F around call ns_set_iswater, at centers of the atmosphere mesh ("mass points")

The input will be done similarly as in dyn_em/module_initialize_b_wave.F per suggestion of the WRF developers. See subroutine read_input_jet.

This is as far as we want to go in ideal.exe, more complicated data input should be done trhough real.exe.
