Example Runs / WPLOTS

This site presents results from.

Run “ENLIL” with “WSA” data and specified “Cone” parameters and produce various plots:

wplots-bnd = Boundary conditions
wplots-evo = Evolution of solar wind parameters
wplots-los = Synthetic white-light images
wplots-rad = Radial profiles
wplots-sho = Shock alert plots
wplots-tim = Distribution of solar wind parameters

Usage

The master scriot can be executed by a single command:

xwcone [-<parameter> <value>]

or, alternatively, by individual steps:

command	action
`xwcone case [-<parameter> <value>]`	Set input parameters and execute the case codes
`xwcone plot_case [-<parameter> <value>]`	Plot results of the case computation
`xwcone run [-<parameter> <value>]`	Set input parameters and execute the run code
`xwcone data_run [-<parameter> <value>]`	Calculate data results from the run computation
`xwcone plot_run [-<parameter> <value>]`	Plot results of the run computation
`xwcone clean [-<parameter> <value>]`	Clean the project directory
