.. _step_2_chimere_readymade:

Locate the input files for CHIMERE
===================================

This simple first simulation uses ready-made input files that have been pre-processed and are provided in the format read directly 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>`

An academic test case named ACADOK, using the Melchior 2 chemical scheme, can be downloaded
`here <https://sharebox.lsce.ipsl.fr/index.php/s/zUpoUXODKFLZJrf/download>`__.
This test case is executed automatically at each commit as part of continuous integration, so it should work with the latest version of the CIF.
