.. _step_2_chimere_readymade:

Locate the input files provided directly for CHIMERE 
=====================================================

This very simple first simulation uses ready-made input files, which have been pre-processed and are provided in the format directly read by CHIMERE.

These files are:

    - the up to :doc:`4 files defining the simulation domain </documentation/doc-models/chimere/coordfiles>`
    - the :doc:`METEO.nc files</documentation/doc-models/chimere/meteo>`
    - the chemical scheme: see :doc:`the 12 files to define a chemical scheme </documentation/doc-models/chimere/chemistry>`
    - the :doc:`emissions files AEMISSIONS.nc and BEMISSIONS.nc </documentation/doc-models/chimere/emissions>`
    - the :doc:`lateral boundary files BOUN_CONCS.nc </documentation/doc-models/chimere/bouncond>`
    - the :doc:`initial condition files INI_CONCS.nc </documentation/doc-models/chimere/inicond>`

It is possible to download an academic test case, named ACADOK, for CHIMERE
`here <https://sharebox.lsce.ipsl.fr/index.php/s/zUpoUXODKFLZJrf/download>`__ with the chemical scheme Melchior 2.
(This test case is automatically executed at each commit to ensure continuous integration so that it is assumed to work properly with the last version of the CIF.)
