HYSPLIT Forum: hysplitbbs.arl.noaa.gov

For the training, we are using past data and simulation to run the model (with tutorial). This help us to understand the Hysplit software and how it works. Is there a link for us to use for real-time data to use in "Hysplit" to run the model?

Thanks

Registered HYSPLIT users can run HYSPLIT with forecast meteorology available at:

ftp.arl.noaa.gov/pub/forecast

I am try to connect the dots. What type of "Meteorology files" are we need to run model for example in the "Trajectory Setup" to make it real-time data calculation. I am assuming this will apply for "concentration setup" too.

Thanks

You will first need to download forecast ARL met files, which can be downloaded to your machine from: ftp.arl.noaa.gov/pub/forecast
Then you can load these files into HYSPLIT using the Add Meteorology Files button you circled in the attachment.

If ftp.arl.noaa.gov/pub/forecast doesn't work for you, you can try ftp.arl.noaa.gov/forecast

Information on available forecast met files on the ARL server is found here:
