+Simulation 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_pts.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 outputs are tsh files with elevation data.
+                   
+  run_simulation.py: Use the above together with various parameters to 
+                     run inundation simluation.
