HYSPLIT Forum: hysplitbbs.arl.noaa.gov

Hi,
at the begining I would like to highlight, that I have been using HYSPLIT for one month, so I'm sorry if my question will be too easy for you. And sorry for my english too, I hope you'll understand me.
I need to run model for episode (which lasted several days) for Linux. I would like to show it as particles. And my question is: can I find somewhere script whereby I can do it? I tried to do it with concbyday.sh file (examples/scripts/unix) but it doesn't work as I wish (mainly - I didn't receive any plot).

Please take a look at the following link for a description of the use of the particle file:

Also, in the following link you will find a script that uses the particle plot routines:

Hi one more time, thank you very much for your answer. I tried to do it in that way:
#!/bin/sh
# set default directory structure if not passed through

MDL="home/HYSPLIT"
OUT="/home/conc"
MET="/home/meteo"
echo test $OUT
# set model simulation variables

poll="IND"
syr=05
smo=09
shr=10
olat=51.00
olon=17.05
olvl=10.0
run=840
ztop=10000.0
met1="ARLDATA2005.bin"

for sda in 07
do
echo "$syr $smo $sda $shr " >CONTROL
echo "1 ">>CONTROL
echo "$olat $olon $olvl ">>CONTROL
echo "$run ">>CONTROL
echo "0 ">>CONTROL

if [ -f cdump ];then rm cdump; fi
${MDL}/exec/hycs_std
mv cdump ${poll}${smo}${sda}
mv CONC.CFG SETUP.CFG

${MDL}/exec/parhplot -a1
${MDL}/exec/parxplot -iPARDUMP -j${MDL}/graphics/arlmap -oparxplot
${MDL}/exec/parvplot -iPARDUMP -oparvplot.ps

echo $run
run=`expr $run - 24`
echo $run
done "

And I received a massage "PARDUMP file not found in local directory". What's wrong with my script?

Are you setting up the model to write the particle position file (PARDUMP) in the SETUP.CFG?

My setup.cfg looks like this:
&SETUP
tratio = 0.75,
delt = 0.0,
initd = 0,
kpuff = 0,
khmax = 9999,
khinp = 0,
numpar = 2500,
maxpar = 10000,
nbptyp = 1,
qcycle = 0.0,
efile = '',
k10m = 1,
kdef = 0,
krand = 2,
kzmix = 0,
kbls = 1,
kblt = 0,
isot = -99,
vscale = 200.0,
vscales = 200.0,
vscaleu = 200.0,
hscale = 10800.0,
capemin = -1.0,
tvmix = 1.00,
tkerd = 0.18,
tkern = 0.18,
kmix0 = 250,
kmixd = 0,
ninit = 1,
ndump = 0,
ncycl = 0,
pinbc = 'PARINBC',
pinpf = 'PARINIT',
poutf = 'PARDUMP',
messg = 'MESSAGE',
vdist = 'VMSDIST',
mgmin = 10,
conage = 48,
kmsl = 0,
kwet = 1,
ichem = 0,
cpack = 1,
cmass = 0,
kspl = 1,
krnd = 6,
frhmax = 3.00,
splitf = 1.00,
frhs = 1.00,
frvs = 0.01,
frts = 0.10,
dxf = 1.00,
dyf = 1.00,
dzf = 0.01,
/

You have to set ndump=1 and ncycl=1 if you want an hourly particle position file

Thank you very much! Now it works!
