Improving Statistics
Posted: September 18th, 2017, 7:21 am
Hi,
Does HYSPLIT/can HYSPLIT introduce a form of biasing that would allow us to gain better statistics for long transport times? For example, in Monte-Carlo modeling of particle transport through materials, a 'doubler' is applied, as particle numbers die away (as they propagate through shielding). After a certain point, each particle spawns a twin, and the 'value' of each is halved. This allows us to boost statistics in the low-statistics region without putting in a large number of primary particles to start with.
With that being said is there any parameter within HYSPLIT that can achieve better statics for long transport times?
Kind Regards
