Arguments

Surf	The dataframe 'runs' exported from Monte Carlos as 'Summary.csv'
Plant	The dataframe 'IP' exported from Monte Carlos as 'IP.csv'.
Height	The height directly over ground (m) at which the species is expected to shelter from a fire.
distance	The starting horizontal distance between the flame origin and the point (m)
trail	Number of seconds to continue modelling after the fire has passed
diameter	Diameter of the surface fuels burning (mm)
var	The angle in degrees that the plume spreads above/below a central vector
Pressure	Sea level atmospheric pressure (hPa)
Altitude	Height above sea level (m)
RH	Relative humidity (0-1)
bodyLength	The "Characteristic length" of the animal (m)
surfaceArea	The surface area of the animal (m^2)
bodyMass	The mass of the animal (kg)
protection	The thickness of fur covering the animal (m)
fibreCount	The number of fibres per square mm
fibreDiameter	The mean fibre diameter of hairs (mm)
fibreCp	Specific heat of fibres (kJ/kg/C)
fiberSolid	The proportion of the fibre (0-1)
skinCp	Specific heat of the animal skin (kJ/kg/C)
skinDensity	Density of the animal skin (kg/m3)
skinK	Thermal conductivity of the animal skin (W/m/C)
bodyTemp	The body temperature of the animal (deg C)
Shape	The approximate shape of the animal - either "Flat", "Sphere", or "Cylinder"
updateProgress	Progress bar for use in the dashboard
Specific_heat	The specific heat of the fur (kJ/kg/deg C)
