Available Forest fire and Dispersion modellings
================================================

.. Note:: In this section, you may find the different steps for launching the possible modelling.
          Be aware that prior to *forest fire \& dispersion* modelling, a meteorological simulation must be run 
          over the period and area of interest.
          The results of this meteorological simulation can then be used for forest fire \& dispersion modelling.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

.. Important:: Reminders for launching a new scenario on SIMPAC

	- On the home page, create New Scenario by clicking the following icon:

	.. figure:: ./images/NewScenario.JPG
		:align: center
		:width: 10ex

	- Choose Simulation Name and Description
	- Choose Spray-Fire
	- Click check to create new scenario, you will be redirected to a new page

*While creating your scenario, use model Spray Fire.*

- Under the METEO tab, choose the wind field simulation scenario you wish to use as data for your forest fire \& dispersion modelling.
- At the top of the page, check the start and end dates for your simulation.
- The map on the right should shift over to the area your scenario covers.

      Configuring the simulation: Defining Meteorological Data for Scenario

- Under the FIRE tab, add any desired initial fire by filling out the form.
- Fill in an individual source name, site, emission time interval and specify the emitted species. 
  The dispersed species is a tracer, and the emitted flow is fixed at 1kg/h. 
- It is possible to define an end date for the propagation of fires. This date may 
  not be the end date of the dispersion modelling.

      Configuring the simulation: Defining Initial Fires for Scenario

- The description of the initial polygon of a fire is realized with the computer mouse 
  through the interface (represented on the picture below).
