HYSPLIT-format meteorological data prepared for these
simulations
2/9/2012 3Mexico City Workshop, Feb 2012
• Subgrid (shown) extracted from full NARR grid for this project
• Why a subgrid? Less data to transfer & computational efficiency
• July 2007 – Jan 2011 (for simulations from 2008-2010)
• Converted to HYSPLIT format
• Monthly files with 3 hr temporal resolution
• Each monthly file ~650 MB
• 43 months (July 2007 – Jan 2011) ~ 27 GB
36km North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR)

TO DO TEST RUNS, MUST INSTALL “basic” HYSPLIT
first, so that you have graphical utilities, etc.
9Mexico City Workshop, Feb 20122/9/2012
An installation package for “basic” HYSPLIT has been placed on the FTP site under the following folder:PLAIN_HYSPLIT4_INSTALLATION
To do the various installations, you will need administrative privileges on the computer. Use default install locations if you can.
First install utilities, in the following order.
TCL (ActiveTcl8.5.8.1.291945-win32-ix86-threaded.exe)Ghostscript (gs863w32.exe)Ghostview (gsv49w32.exe)ImageMagick (ImageMagick-6.6.1-5-Q8-windows-dll.exe)
Then install the HYSPLIT program (HYSPLIT_win32R.exe)
You can always download latest PC version from:https://ready.arl.noaa.gov/HYSPLIT.php
2/9/2012 10Mexico City Workshop, Feb 2012
First, try to do one initial test Run
11Mexico City Workshop, Feb 20122/9/2012
1. USING BINARY MODE, download folder from the FTP site: hysplit4_SV_feb_2012
2. Open up a DOS Window
3. Navigate to c:\ hysplit4_SV_feb_2012\working_SV
4. To see batch files present, type: dir *.bat [return]
5. Install Notepad++ or Some Other Text Editor with Context-Highlighting
6. Examine SET_SV_007.bat [open it up in an editor; don’t double click on it!]
7. Adjust the “environment” [ENVR==2] … see the next page
8. Once you’ve done this, return to the DOS window (working_SV)
9. Try to run the first test by typing: run_test_1 then hit return
10. If it all works, you will see the program running, and when done, you will end up with the following directory: C:\hysplit4_SV_feb_2012\HYSPLIT_RESULTS\testing\test_run_1\
11. Navigate to this directory from Windows Explorer and examine the files there
12Mexico City Workshop, Feb 20122/9/2012

For your installation, the directories may be the same as shown below. But if they are not, edit them the text below to correspond to your situation
13Mexico City Workshop, Feb 20122/9/2012
Ok… hopefully, if you double click on the file test_run_1_MEXICO_totrun.ps you will get something that looks like the image below
If you can’t open the postscript file, maybe ghostscript and ghostview were not installed properly?
14Mexico City Workshop, Feb 20122/9/2012
There are a lot of other files, and we will examine them shortly…
But for now, lets just make sure that this initial run worked.
If you got the postscript image on the previous page, it worked!
If not, we will have to figure out what is going on… Don’t worry, usually the problems are relatively easy to find and fix.
A “pre-computed” version of the output from this test is provided, in the directory “pre_computed_testing”
15Mexico City Workshop, Feb 20122/9/2012
HYSPLIT produces output as postscript files (.ps). These can be viewed with GhostView, but they are not very convenient to use. For example, they can’t easily be imported into PowerPoint or MS-Word.
If you have ImageMagick installed, you can “convert” the postscript file to a jpg (or other format) using the following command from the DOS command line:
convert -density 300 test_run_1_MEXICO_totrun.ps name.jpg
(where “name” can be anything you want… )
If the program “convert” was not found, check your PATH, and either change your PATH or copy the program “convert.exe” from the ImageMagick directory to someplace in your PATH.
On my computer, the “convert” program is at the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-6.6.1-Q8\convert.exe
16Mexico City Workshop, Feb 20122/9/2012
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT MET DATA
In order to minimize download time and facilitate initial testing, only a minimum set of met files have been included in the hysplit4_SV_feb_2012 folder that you have downloaded from the FTP site.
In fact, only “two” files have been included:
One NARR_MX_36km file, for Jan 2008:C:\hysplit4_SV_feb_2012\metdata\NARR_MX_36km NARR_MX_2008_JAN.bin
And one NCEP/NCAR Global Reanalysis file, for Jan 2008:C:\hysplit4_SV_feb_2012\metdata\GLOBAL_2p5 RP200801.gbl
Additional files are available on the FTP site, and in order to carry out runs for time periods other than Jan 2008, you can download these from the FTP site. Remember to use BINARY MODE. You should put any additional files you download in the same folders as the two files above.
The full set of NARR_MX_36km met files is in the FTP folder: NARR_MX_met_data
The full set of Global_Reanalysis met files is in the FTP folder: Global_MX_met_data

· Problems with run? These are good place to look, as errors might be apparent here…
2/9/2012
23Mexico City Workshop, Feb 2012
File Name Description
run_name_global.temporal.ps
Postscript format deposition map over a global domain for PUFF results only, written as specified in the RUN and SET batch files, at the frequency specified by “temporal_hrs” in the SET batch file. This is produced by the program “gridplot”. Note that this program also produces ascii text output, as specified in SET batch file, for each output time step: run_name_global_temporal_PUF_001.txt, run_name_global_temporal_PUF_002.txt, …
run_name_global.totrun.ps
Postscript format deposition map over a global domain for PUFF results only, written as specified in the RUN and SET batch files, cumulative for the entire simulation. This is produced by the program “gridplot”, along with an ascii text output for each grid point: run_name_global_totrun_PUF_001.txt
run_name_MEXICO.temporal.ps
Postscript format deposition map over a MEXICO domain for PUFF results only, written as specified in RUN and SET batch files, at the frequency specified by “temporal_hrs” in the SET batch file. This is produced by the program “concplot”.
run_name_MEXICO.totrun.psPostscript format deposition map over a MEXICO domain for PUFF results only, written as specified in RUN and SET batch files, cumulative for the entire simulation. This is produced by the program “concplot”.
“postscript image results” files produced after the HYSPLIT_SV simulation
2/9/2012
· These are produced using settings and choices established in the RUN and SET files; most of the settings are “hardwired” in the SET batch file but can be edited.
· These files can get pretty big if the temporal_hrs setting is too small for long runs.
24Mexico City Workshop, Feb 2012
File Name Description
run_name_SOURCE.temporal.ps
Postscript format deposition map over a domain centered at the source location. For PUFF results only, written as specified in RUN and SET batch files, at the frequency specified by “temporal_hrs” in the SET batch file. This is produced by the program “concplot”.
Currently, the “resolution” of the grid is set to be 0.10 degrees (~10 km) but this could be adjusted up or down.
Currently the “extent” of the grid is 3 degrees in each direction, but this could be adjusted up or down.
run_name_SOURCE.totrun.ps Same as the deposition map above but cumulative for the entire run.
… continued… “postscript image results” files produced
2/9/2012
· Current settings for all of the above maps are to show “deposition”. However, concentrations can also be shown, if this is desired. Recommendation would be to change the SET file to add another call to CONCPLOT with slightly different settings, to tell CONCPLOT to produce map(s) of concentration rather than deposition.
25Mexico City Workshop, Feb 2012
File Name Description
run_name_.flx_sum_1.txtTotal deposition flux at each point receptor over entire simulation (based on “.flx” file)
run_name_.flx_sum_2.txt For SV simulations, same as .flx_sum_1.txt (but with no header information)
run_name_.flx_sum_3.txt
Total deposition flux for each deposition pathway over entire simulation (based on “.flx” file). File does not contain an explanatory header. Columns are: CEP_number, name, lat, long, land_type, dry gas dep flux, dry particle dep flux, wet gas dep flux, wet particle below cloud dep flux, wet particle in cloud dep flux
run_name_.flx_tim_1.txt
Optional total, dry, and wet deposition flux to one or all point receptors, at each time step in the “CEP” file. The choice is made by the parameter “key_CEP” in the RUN batch file:key_CEP = 0: write for allkey_CEP = n: write only for specific CEP number
Note that there are actually more choices, that can be set in the SET batch file. The output frequency is the time step is set in the SET batch file by the parameter “dep_delta”. The current value of dep_delta is 1440 minutes (=24 hrs). If you want to change this, you will have to edit the “SET” batch file. This summary file is also based on the “.flx” file
“summary results” files for deposition flux to point receptors produced after HYSPLIT_SV simulation
· These are produced by a specialized program after HYSPLIT-SV is completed

File Name Description
run_name _cepconc_0001.txt
Air concentration (mass/m3) at concentration evaluation point (CEP) receptor #1, at each elevation specified in the SET batch file, at each time step specified by the parameter “cep_conc”. Based on “.cep” file. Note that the elevation = 0 values are for deposition (mass/m2). See description of “.cep” file for additional details. This file does have reasonably complete header information and is “designed” to be able to be read into a spreadsheet using spaces as delimiters.
run_name _cepconc_0002.txt Same as above for CEP point receptor #2
.

run_name _cepconc_nnnn.txt Same as above for CEP point receptor #nnnn
“summary results” files for air concentrations at point receptors produced after HYSPLIT_SV simulation
· These are produced by a specialized program after HYSPLIT-SV is completed
· One file for each point receptor in the simulation
· There is reasonably complete header information in these files, but you can easily determine which file you “want” by looking at the receptor numbers in the “.clt” file
2/9/2012
27Mexico City Workshop, Feb 2012
File Name Description
run_name_.recpsum_1.txt
Total mass deposited to each area receptor over entire simulation (based on the “.rdp” file). Note that the deposition is repeated in the last column. This is actually the total deposition over all species, but since we only do one species in the SV simulations, the deposition is essentially “repeated”.
run_name_.recpsum_2.txt For SV simulations, same as above (but with no header information)
run_name_.recpsum_3.txt
Total mass deposited to each area receptor for each deposition pathway over entire simulation (based on the “.rdp” file).
File does not contain an explanatory header. Columns are: RECP_number, name, area km2, centroid lat, centroid long, land type, dry gas dep mass, dry particle dep mass, wet gas dep mass, wet particle below cloud dep mass, wet particle in cloud dep mass
run_name_.recptim_1.txt
Total, dry, and wet deposition mass to each area receptor, at each time step in the “RDP” file. This time step is set in the SET batch file by the parameter “dep_delta”, the same parameter that determines the deposition output at the point receptors. The current value of dep_delta is 1440 minutes (=24 hrs). If you want to change this, you will have to edit the “SET” batch file. This summary file is also based on the “.rdp” file.

28Mexico City Workshop, Feb 2012
File Name Description
run_name_cep
Concentration at each point receptor, at each elevation, at each “cepconc_delta” interval, as defined in the SET batch file. This is set at 180 minutes = 3 hours for initial testing. The elevations are also established in the SET batch file. Currently they are set at 0, 100, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, and 4000 meters above ground level. If you want to change the elevations, you can. The “0” level is actually deposition. Units in this file are “mass/m3” for concentrations and “mass/m2” for deposition. Depending on the number of point receptors, the number of elevations, the frequency of output, and the run duration, this file can get pretty big.
run_name_flx
Deposition flux at each point receptor, for each deposition pathway, at each “dep_delta” interval, as defined in the SET batch file. This is set at 1440 minutes = 24 hours for initial testing. Units in this file are “mass/m2”.
run_name_rdpDeposition flux at each area receptor, for each deposition pathway, at each “dep_delta” interval, as defined in the SET batch file. This is set at 1440 minutes = 24 hours for initial testing. Units in this file are “mass”.

File Name Description
run_name_msg
This is the “MESSAGE” file produced by HYSPLIT, the basic diagnostic output generated by the program. The format is somewhat cryptic, but can be deciphered with some effort. If a run crashed, this file can tell you when it happened, and sometimes even why it happened.

33Mexico City Workshop, Feb 2012
File Name Description
run_name_zdest_out.txt
Diagnostic output for chemical transformation, written each hour. This is the total chemical transformation mass of the pollutant – i.e., the “destruction” of the pollutant by chemical reaction or photolysis – during the preceding hour. Imagine there is a total of X grams of mass in the model at the start of the hour. This file contains the model-estimated values of the total Y grams of mass in the model that were “destroyed” during the next hour. Thus, if there were no deposition or no loss of pollutant out the top or sides of the grid, the total mass of pollutant at the end of the hour would be X – Y. For pure PUF runs (without GEM) the GEM component will be zero.
Here is the write statement in sv_chem.fwrite(2060,2061) JET,kyear,kmonth,kday,khour,kminute, & (zdest_puf(nd),nd=1,numpol),(zdest_gem(nd),nd=1,numpol), & (zdest_puf(nd)+zdest_gem(nd),nd=1,numpol)2061 format(I15,5I5,9999E15.6)
Note that in the above write statement, numpol=1 for these HYSPLIT4_SV runs, i.e., there is only one species per run. So, the columns in the file are simply:JET, year, month, hour, minute, zdest_puf, zdest_gem, zdest_tot
Where JET = “J elapsed time”, an internal time stamp in HYSPLIT, referring to the cumulative elapsed minutes since the beginning of 1970.And where zdest_tot = zdest_puf + zdest_gem

If desired, several other test runs can be done. DOS Batch files for these test runs are also provided in the working_SV directory. These runs have also been “pre-computed”, and all the results are available at the FTP site under the folder: “ADDITIONAL_pre_computed_test_runs”.
A set of 168-hr runs from std pts 1 thru 5, with each batch file containing separate runs for 2,3,7,8-TCDF, 2,3,7,8-TCDD, 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF, and OCDD, with a time step of 60 minutes:
• run_stdpt_1_168hr.bat • run_stdpt_2_168hr.bat• run_stdpt_3_168hr.bat• run_stdpt_4_168hr.bat• run_stdpt_5_168hr.bat
A set of 672-hr runs from std pts 1 thru 5, with each batch file containing separate runs for 2,3,7,8-TCDF, 2,3,7,8-TCDD, 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF, and OCDD, with a time step of 30 minutes:
• run_stdpt_1_672hr.bat• run_stdpt_2_672hr.bat• run_stdpt_3_672hr.bat• run_stdpt_4_672hr.bat• run_stdpt_5_672hr.bat
A set of runs showing an example of parameter variation, a process that should be explored further as the project proceeds. In this case a series of 672-hr runs from std pt 2 for 2,3,7,8-TCDD, for different values of “maxpar”, the maximum number of puffs allowed in the simulation at any one time. In all the simulations above, a value of 10,000 was used for “maxpar”. Here a series of runs is done with values of 1000, 2000, 5000, 20000, and 50000, to compare with the run done earlier with maxpar=10000
