Getting Started

The WebGNOME Landing Page (shown below) provides a launching point for different WebGNOME applications.

It links to the following WebGNOME start-up modes:

• Oil Weathering Only (Beginner Mode)

• Load a Location (Beginner Mode)

• Choose a Model (Intermediate to Advanced Mode)

• Manual Setup (Intermediate to Advanced Mode)

These options can be accessed from the Manual Setup Mode, which looks like the image below.

To create a new spill scenario, click on the +New menu dropdown menu and select one of the following options:

• Location File Setup (Beginner Mode)

• Weathering Only Setup (Beginner Mode)

• Manual Setup (Intermediate to Advanced Mode)

• Load Saved Model

The Manual Setup is the most complicated. Working through Location File Setup can help develop experience with the user inputs and is a good starting point for learning how to customize WebGNOME to a particular application via Manual Setup. Whether you want to become familiar with WebGNOME through exercises or to dive right into Manual Setup, these resources might help you get started.
