Inconsistent altitude selection
Posted: November 4th, 2024, 5:01 am
Greetings!
So, I am running the online version of HYSPLIT, specifically the backwards trajectory, vertical velocity model.
The main issue I am encountering is that the algorithm tends to return data for ~800m below the requested altitude when in the "AMSL" altitude selection mode. I am presenting proof bellow:
Secondly, although I am entering altitude in AMSL (I am aware that the model converts them to AGL to run), the final trajectory plot has a title of "Meters AGL" despite displaying AMSL altitude values. Also, if I am not mistaken, there is no option of manually changing the title to AMSL.
Thank you for reading and evaluating my message,
I took care to not foolishly miss something obvious, apologies if I failed to do that,
Kind regards,
Andreas
