Saving and Exporting

Save your scenario

To save a model setup, select “Download Your Model Setup” from the Save menu option. This will save all parameters used to describe your scenario along with all the supporting files (wind and currents files, map files etc). All the files will be bundled together in a zipped folder with the extension .gnome. Although this file can be unzipped, if desired, to examine the contents, to reload into WebGNOME it must remain zipped.

Reloading a Scenario

A GNOME save file (.gnome file) can be re-loaded into WebGNOME from the “Manual Setup” page.

  • From the “New” menu, select “Load Saved Model”

  • You will be prompted to confirm that you want to start a new scenario.

  • Once you confirm that, you will be able to upload a .gnome file.

Export the results

To save the model results (i.e., the particle locations and properties over time) choose “Export Particles” from the Save menu option. Various formats are available including NetCDF, Shapefile, and KMZ.
