SMS:ESMF Hurricane Overview

The dialog gives an overview of the components of the Hurricane simulation. It also allows the user to designate the number of processors to be use by each model in the simulation.

• Simulation Name – Name of the Hurricane simulation as set in the project explore
• Properties – Properties of the Hurricane simulation
  • Model Name – Name of models found in the simulation
    • ADCIRC <mesh name> (1 required) – Name of the adcirc mesh used in the hurricane simulation.
    • STWAVE <grid name> (1 required) – Name of the stwave cgrid used in the hurricane simulation.
    • PBL <pbl cov name> (optional) – Name of pbl wind coverage used in the hurricane simulation.
    • WAM <wam sim name> (optional) – Name of wam simulation used in the hurricane simulation.
• Projection – Projection type of model.
  • Geo – Geographic (Latitude/Longitude)
  • STPL <#> – State Plane number
  • Other – Other type of projection
• Start Time – Temporal starting time of model.
• End Time – Temporal ending time of model.
• Threads – Number of processor threads used by model for computation or I/O processing.
• Function – Function used to adjust the processor threads used by each model.
  • Set Threads – Set the number of processor threads for:
    • Computational or I/O processing (ADCIRC)
    • Grid Partition I and J processing (STWAVE)
  • NONE – WAM and PBL use only one processor thread.
