WRF-Fire development notes

• Restart done
• Read the topography from a file in an ideal run
• Smoothing the terrain gradients for fire spread Input gradient rather than terrain height so that the gradient can be smoothly interpolated in preprocessing.
• Canopy fire
• Output to WRF-Chem
• Better quadrature for fuel left
• Gradual ignition from a point or a line, without limitation on the initial radius
• Walking line ignition (as the fireman walks igniting the fire) done
• Remove (by default) the warm perturbation (bubble) from atmospheric initializations in idealized cases done
• Modify the code and add namelist variables allowing for ingesting the cold/warm perturbation of a specified size (for people interested in fire propagation in downburst/convective environments) done
