1. Certainly. I'm trying to use HYSPLIT to create atmospheric profiles of the release of a target chemical agent for use with a radiative transfer model. I'm modelling the detection of that agent using satellites, hence the need for a radiative transfer model and HYSPLIT to produce atmospheric profi...

Having thought about this for a few days and also discussed with my supervisor, I have a few more questions I'd like to ask in addition to my previous one about computational particles: 1. Do you have any specific recommendations about which alternative models would be best to use if HYSPLIT turns o...

Thank you very much for all the information. Looking into acquiring higher-resolution meteorology seems like a wise choice, as does switching to snapshots instead of averages. Having read your paper that you linked, I think I understand conceptually what you mean by computational particles, and that...

I may have been. The ground level (which I assume is the extent of the deposition layer, I don't see why it wouldn't be?) concentrations do match, and the results above that altitude are about 15x smaller for the 15 minute average compared to the 1 minute, so those two points of confusion make a lot...

Attaching the final two CONTROL and MESSAGE files:

Posting another three of the MESSAGE and CONTROL Files here:

My apologies for the late response! I was not notified by email that a reply had been posted, like I am used to, so I was not aware you had replied. Thank you for replying to my original post so swiftly. I don't seem to have SETUP.CFG files in my working directory, but I can supply the CONTROL and M...

I have been using HYSPLIT (the desktop client, to be specific) to retrieve a vertical profile of concentration of Sulphur Mustard gas for use in a radiative transfer model, the objective being to assess the capability of detecting this gas with a specific instrument. To collect test results I had in...

Thank you very much for this advice, that is all very helpful! I'll be sure to download the client for HYSPLIT and see what progress I can make with that! Especially thank you for your explanation of the outputs in more detail and for recommending HYSPLIT for R, since I have some experience with R a...

I am looking at the detection of hazardous chemicals using satellites, and I'm running a simulation of atmospheric transmission/absorption to determine whether a given chemical could be detected using the Reference Forward Model, or RFM. One of the inputs this model requires is an atmospheric profil...
