HYSPLIT Forum: hysplitbbs.arl.noaa.gov

Hello, I am having a problem using "Convert WRF-ARW" script in Windows Hysplit local. The issue is that I have WRF data in NetCDF 5 format, but your program is unable to read it. I have tried the script with other weather data in NetCDF3 format, and your program was able to read it but was unable to perform the conversion due to variable naming issues. Will the "Convert WRF-ARW" script be updated to work with NetCDF 5 format soon? If not, do you know of any other solution for using these WRF data with windows Hysplit local?

The latest HYSPLIT distribution for Windows PC uses netCDF4.
You can compile arw2arl + netCDF5 => go to data2arl/arw2arl, modify the Makefile to point to the netCDF5 library and then recompile the arw2arl program.

Hello,
Thank you for your response. I will try to make this modification.
