Sample fgmax results

From the GeoClaw Tsunami Tutorial

The directory $GTT/CopalisBeach/example2 contains a GeoClaw example that produces results on fgout and fgmax grids.

The script fetch_sample_results.py can be used to fetch some sample results if you want to run the post-processing script or notebook in this directory without running the GeoClaw code.

Reading and plotting fgmax results

The notebook Plot fgmax results illustrates the basic approach to reading in fgmax results and producing various types of plots.

Creating kmz files to view on Google Earth

The script make_fgmax_kmz.py creates a set of plots as png files with a kml file wrapper that allows them to be overlaid on Google Earth. All the files are combined into a self-contained kmz file, which is also available as sample_results/CopalisBeach_ASCE_SIFT_fgmax1.kmz. Producing and using this file allows you to zoom in on region of interest to better explore the fgmax results.

The kmz file can also be uploaded to a project on earth.google.com so that others can also explore your fgmax results and interact via a webpage. The sample file produced in this example can be viewed at this link.

Plotting fgmax results on folium maps

The notebook Plot fgmax results on an interactive map produces an intereactive plot of the maximum water depth on top of a leaflet.js map produced using the Python package folium.
