<strong>HYSPLIT</strong> <strong>WES</strong> <strong>Cases</strong> <strong>Simulation</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>III.<strong>WES</strong>SLThis simulation presents the request for a <strong>HYSPLIT</strong> run in a realistic customersupportcontext. <strong>WES</strong>SL presents several simulated telephone conversationsto the trainees; the trainees should type their response in the spaces providedduring the simulation. This simulation is also unique in the fact that it interpretsone of the trainee responses and presents different information depending onthat response.These simulated conversations were implemented using a web server, ArticulateQuizmaker and some custom scripts. <strong>WES</strong>SL simply executes several systemcommands to launch an interaction in a web page at the appropriate times.Each time, <strong>WES</strong>SL presents an Event Log pop-up window to acknowledgereceipt.The <strong>WES</strong>SL script contains an introductory Articulate presentation that loadsimmediately after the simulation starts. This presentation provides an overviewof the simulation and other bits of important information. The simulation pausesto give the student time to digest the pre-briefing and corresponding weatherbriefing. Each simulated conversation in the <strong>WES</strong>SL script requires the studentto enter a response that is saved in a log file located at/data/awips/2010Aug14/wessl/hysplitSim1.log.Version: 1.0 The August 14-15, 2010 Event 3-5
