- Determine the track of the cyclone
- 'Draw track' is used to draw a cyclone track with the mouse
- First select the time (start and time step)
- Secondly determine other settings like Rmax or Pdrop. Which settings can selected depends on the 'Method selected in the Toolbox. Default is the Vmax, Pd and Rmax approach
- 'Load track' is used to load an previous saved track which was defined in Dashboard
- It is also possible to load tracks of cyclones (*.cyc) from available databases using 'Import Track' from sources of the JTWC, NHC or UNISYS.
- 'Draw track' is used to draw a cyclone track with the mouse
- Define a number of settings related to the spiderweb under 'Spiderweb Parameters', such as the directional bins and radial bins that are used to define aspects of the spiderweb.
- Click on 'Compute cyclone' to generate a spider web file (*. spw) containing wind field and pressure drop which can be imported in Delft3D-FLOW.
The possibilities of Delft Dashboard for simulation tropical cyclones in Delft3D-FLOW is also showed in Tutorial 3: Tsnuami wave modelling.
