Re: [idvusers] Displaying HYSPLIT trajectories in IDV

Hello

I was wondering if it's possible to use IDV to visualize HYSPLIT model
trajectories files (http://ready.arl.noaa.gov/HYSPLIT.php).

Does anyone heard it or seen it ¿?

Thank you !

There are a couple of ways you could do this. If you save the output as a KMZ file, you can display that in the IDV.

You could also download the trajectory endpoints file and load that in as a text point trajectory file. You'd need to modify the file to add in the appropriate metadata so the IDV would be able to read that:

You can also use the new trajectory calculation code to have the IDV do the calculations itself. I couldn't find any documentation on that, so perhaps someone from Unidata will chime in.
