MERRA-2 Data for HYSPLIT

[acollow]

Hello,
After searching the forum I found an out post stating that MERRA does not provide he variables needed to force HYSPLIT. Is this the case for MERRA-2 as well? If so, what variables would need to be added to the data collection?

Thanks!

The MERRA2 dataset has all variables for running HYSPLIT. We have developed a converter to write the data in ARL format for HYSPLIT application. The converter uses MERRA2 3D variables including PL, QV, T, U, V, OMEGA and 2D variables including PS, EFLUX, HFLUX, USTAR, PBLH, Z0M, PRECTOTCORR, T2M, U10M and V10M.
We will make the converter available next week but it runs on a linux machine (not available for the PC version HYSPLIT).
