Getting .kmz (google earth) file with installed version

[coutre]

Hello,

I am running the Daily backtrajectories using Hysplit on Mac and would like to know if there is a way to get the .kmz file as an output, as I used to do when running the online version of Hysplit? I did not find the option in the Advanced setup.

Thank you very much!

Look in the Concentration/Display/Concentration/Contours

Does this option work for backtrajectories, and not only for concentration runs?

Also, I suppose this would allow me to get a .kmz file for the last run when running the Special Run-Daily setup (1 traj/day during a month)? If I am correct, is there a way to get a kmz file for each of the backtrajectories?

Thank you for your time

Yes, it works for trajectories and concentrations.

To get a kmz file for each trajectory in your daily trajectories you will need to use a script like the one below:

#!/bin/sh
MDL="${HOME}/hysplit4"
MET="${HOME}/Tutorial/captex"
OUT="${MDL}/working"
cd $OUT

if [ ! -f ASCDATA.CFG ]; then
echo "-90.0 -180.0" >ASCDATA.CFG
echo "1.0 1.0" >>ASCDATA.CFG
echo "180 360" >>ASCDATA.CFG
echo "2" >>ASCDATA.CFG
echo "0.2" >>ASCDATA.CFG
echo "'$MDL/bdyfiles/'" >>ASCDATA.CFG
fi
echo "### $0 ###"

rm -f SETUP.CFG
rm -f fdump????????
