Re: Time Step and Concentration Calculation

Dear alicec, Thank you very much for your reply and help. I really appreciate your help. I used your area calculation formula to calculate the area. I did the calculation in an Excel file. Please see the attached output file. It seems not right. That would be great if you could explain your formula ...

Re: Time Step and Concentration Calculation

Dear alicec, Thanks for your reply. I am not clear about the formula for calculating the area. The area is calculated as (111198.323)^2 * lat * lon * cos(lat) The grid area in my simulation is 5000 m * 5000 m, because the grid spacing is 0.05. How is your formula related to the grid spacing (0.05)? ...

Re: Time Step and Concentration Calculation

Dear alicec, Thank you very much for your reply and help. I ran some simple simulations with ichem=5 yesterday before seeing your rely, and the outputs are consistent with your explanation. But I sampled the deposition value using ‘time average’. As you suggested, ‘Maybe you just want to use a snaps...

Re: Time Step and Concentration Calculation

Dear alicec, Thank you very much for your help. I am using HYSPLIT to model insect dispersal. The computational particles represent insects. Insects do not loss their mass during wind dispersal process, and will eventually land on the ground. That is why I am only interested in counting the number o...

Re: Time Step and Concentration Calculation

Dear alicec, Thank you very much for your reply. I am very sorry that I did not make Question 3 clear. For Question 3, I would only like to calculate the number of particles via concentration/density (mass/area) on the deposition layer. As you suggested before, I would be able to work backward to ge...

Re: Time Step and Concentration Calculation

Dear alicec, Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it. Now, I have a much better understanding of how HYSPLIT works. I would just like to confirm some of my final thoughts. Please see the example below and the attached MESSAGE file. Number particle released: 10,000 Emission rate: 33...

Re: Time Step and Concentration Calculation

Dear alicec, I actually would like to include dry deposition for my dispersal simulation, and will only sample concentration in a grid cell (m2) on the ground level (0 m). How do I ensure that the mass on the particles is not changing? According to the link that you sent, 'In the special case where ...

Re: Time Step and Concentration Calculation

Dear alicec, Thank you very much for your reply. It is very helpful. I have a much better understanding of concentration calculation now, but I still have two questions. Question 1: Could you please see the example below? Would I be correct? For example, the sampling interval is every 2 hours (120 m...

Sampling Interval Type (snapshot)

Dear all, According to the online tutorial, Sampling interval type: Snapshot (or now) will give the instantaneous output at the output interval. What does the output interval mean? Does it mean the last time step within the sampling interval? If so, the instantaneous output refers to a snapshot of w...
