Simulation scenarios
--------------------

This area is reserved for scripts that carry out and document production 
runs for scenarios.




Sub directories contain scrips and derived files for each simulation.
The directory ../source_data contains large source files such as
DEMs provided externally as well as MOST tsunami simulations to be used 
as boundary conditions.

Manual steps are:
  Creation of DEMs from argcview (.asc + .prj)
  Creation of mesh from pmesh (.tsh)
  Creation of tsunami simulations from MOST (.nc)

  
Typical scripted steps are

  prepare_dem.py:  Convert asc and prj files supplied by arcview to 
                   native dem and pts formats
  
  prepare_boundary.py: Convert netcdf output from MOST to an sww file suitable
                  as boundary condition
                  
  prepare_mesh.py: Merge DEM (pts) and mesh (tsh) using least squares 
                   smoothing. The outpus are tsh files with elevation data.
                   
  run_simulation.py: Use the above together with various parameters to 
                     run inundation simluation.
