7 This repository contains scripts for creating KMZ files from WRF output files
8 as well as classes that can be extended for customizing the output. A description
9 of the code can be found at http://www.openwfm.org/wiki/Visualization_in_Google_Earth.
10 The main script, nc2kmz.py, generates a file called fire.kmz, which when opened
11 in Google Earth shows the heat flux coming from the fire as a ground overlay. This
12 script will not work on idealized simulations because they cannot be geolocated.
13 The script take one argument, the output NetCDF file,
