Scenarios

A problem may contain any number of scenarios. Scenarios allow comparison between different environmental situations, sources, mitigation, grids, and solvers. Each scenario contains:

• Sources
• Grid
• Probes
• Water sound speed profile
• Seabed
• Weightings
• Solver and frequency selection

Bathymetry and the overall world dimensions are shared by all scenarios.

Use this page to manage scenarios: add, delete, or duplicate scenarios with the given buttons. To make a scenario active, click in the column Activate. To enable or disable solving for each scenario, click in the Solve column. Disabling a scenario from solving will keep any calculated results that exist for that scenario. If a scenario currently has calculated results, this is shown in the Levels column.
