Ideal cases
================================================

The general workflow for ideal case simulation is :

* initialize the surface fields : idealised (:ref:`prep_ideal_case`) or realistic (:ref:`prep_pgd`)

* specify an horizontally uniform atmosphere from a profile (:ref:`prep_ideal_case`)

* specify atmospheric vertical forcings (:ref:`prep_ideal_case`)

* (optional) add a perturbation (:ref:`prep_ideal_case`)

* start the time-integration (:ref:`mesonh`)

* (optional) compute diagnostics (:ref:`diag` and :ref:`spectra`)

This workflow is describe in the following figure :
