1. Introduction
...
Recorded storm track data will be processed by a script to generate field files for EE. Normally, field files will be generated in a text file format (*fld.inp), but sometimes, the data size is very larrge. EE allows saving field files in binary format (*fld.fld) to save memory and read files faster. Examples of code to create the binary files are provided in Appendix B - Data format B-26.
Generated field files will have format as shown in Figure 2 below. See Appendix B - Data format B-26 for more details on the fields data format.

5. Visualize field files in EEMS
Once the field is generated, EFDC will use this field in place of the other forcings defined by the user to simulate. Users may review the forcing fields in 2DH View by selecting Forcing Fields from the 2DH View Option as shown in Figure 5 below.
