Don't use WRF 27 km mass coupled time averaged files with HYSPLIT Version 4

Post by christopher.loughner »

Note that there are two versions of the WRF 27 km ARL meteorology files (https://www.ready.noaa.gov/data/archive ... README.TXT). One set of files contain instantaneous wind velocities and the other mass coupled time average wind velocities. The set of files with mass coupled time averaged wind velocities are not compatible with HYSPLIT Versions prior to Version 5.0.0. If you want to use WRF 27 km files with HYSPLIT Version 4, then use the files with instantaneous wind velocities. Although, a better option is to upgrade your version of HYSPLIT to the latest release.
