WRF-Fire Project

This page introduces the possibilities VisTrails provides in relation to the WRF-Fire Simulation project.

3D Visualizations via VisTrails

Above are screen shots of VisTrails visualizations of the wrf-fire simulation results. Specifically these visualizations illustrate the fire area, as well as the wind vectors on the surface and throughout the volume. The use of stream rakes improves the visualization of the wind's flow.

The VisTrail that produces these images reads in the wrfout NetCDF file produced by the simulation. It extracts the specified variables at a single time step, and displays an interactive 3D visualization within a single cell of the VisTrails' spreadsheet. The images shown are screen shots of this cell.
