Case study: Mount Etna

Additionally, two other optional modules are available exclusively for the Mount Etna case study, where the field sites from [Meyer and de Groot, 2024] are reproduced:

  1. set_measurement_parameters.set_measurement_parameters(): This module provides DEM, site and path-specific values such as the file to read, the location and number of measurement points, IGRF (International Geomagnetic Reference Field) values for the site, and more. See Functions for more details.

  2. etna.py: This script is used to define input parameters, to run different options reproducing field paths and call set_measurement_parameters.set_measurement_parameters()

Finally, there are two scripts, script_etna_full.sh and script_etna.sh, that automatically modify etna.py.
For the methods on the incorporation of the DEMs and field paths, please see original study.
To run all (optimized) setups for case study Mount Etna (reproducing) field sites use script_etna_full.
Run DEM simulation:
Code 222 /main/ (runtime: ~30 min)
./script_etna_full
Note that since the DEM snippets are not provided (due to copyright issues), without downloading, converting and cutting the DEMs to the sizes as listed in the original study, you are not able to run this.
All information on the sizes are listed in the original study and set_measurement_parameters.set_measurement_parameters(), and the DEMs were converted to WGS84 UTM 33N in ArcGIS Pro through bilinear interpolation.
We have included all the (converted) FLUX data from [Meyer and de Groot, 2024] within the sites folder within the MTE repository on GitHub.
Lastly, two python scripts are provided to compute statistical paramters using the output ascii files generated when using the MTE code with a DEM setup: stats_all_after.py and statistics_after.py, where the first automatically computes the statistical parameters for all path results (if the results are produced using the provided scripts) and the other python script is for computing these parameters for individual setups.
