Use of a customized netcdf file in HYPSLIT
Posted: June 9th, 2022, 12:53 pm
Hello,
I am a new HYSPLIT user. I have to do a backward trajectory analysis of an air parcel ending at the point (at specific lat, lon, and z level) of precipitation extremes. For this purpose, I have saved 15 days of 3-hourly NetCDF data of u,v, and omega at all 28 levels of NOAA-CIRES-DOE Twentieth Century Reanalysis (V3)-- the last timestep is the time of precipitation extreme. I have 2 questions:
1) Do I need any other variable for a simple backward trajectory analysis in HYSPLIT?
2) How to convert this NetCDF data into HYSPLIT-confirming format?
3) Where to keep the transformed data in the HYSPLIT module, so that it can be read by the software?
Thank you.
