HQ The NCEP Acting Director gave final approval for the implementation of the HYSPLIT upgrade (NCEP version number 7.6) on June 12, 2019. The main features of this package are changes required to keep up with NCEP’s GFS upgrade, increases the GFS-HYSPLIT-formatted hybrid-level file horizontal resolution to quarter-degree, adds conversion of HRRR native-level output to…
Major HYSPLIT Upgrade Scheduled June 12 June 2019 ARL’s HYSPLIT model will experience a number of behind-the-scenes upgrades when NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) implements a major upgrade to the agency’s Global Forecast System-Finite Volume Cubed (GFS-FV3) on June 12, 2019. The upgrades are not to the HYSPLIT model itself; rather, they’re changes…
HQ ARL hosted the second annual Ozone Water Land Environmental Transition Study (OWLETS) and sixth annual Tropospheric Ozone Lidar Network (TOLNet) Science Team Meetings in College Park, Maryland, from May 6-8, 2019. Over 50 scientists participated in the joint event, representing NOAA, NASA, and EPA, as well as multiple universities and state agencies involved in…

HQ Alice Crawford and Barbara Stunder are supporting the Washington Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) in the VAAC’s response to the ongoing Kilauea eruption. They have been participating in daily conference calls with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), VAAC, and Honolulu Weather Forecast Office staff. Alice is posting, on a password protected web page, ash dispersion…
ARL’s HYSPLIT Model Sets New Usage Record in 2017 January 2018 ARL’s HYSPLIT model is well-known in the atmospheric science community as one of the most widely used models for atmospheric trajectory and dispersion calculations. Publicly available via ARL’s Real-time Environmental Applications and Display sYstem (READY) web server (http://www.ready.noaa.gov), users worldwide are able to access…
HQ Alice Crawford the University of Maryland Atmospheric and Oceanic Science departmental seminar on Thursday, 30 November. Her talk was titled HYSPLIT: Modeling the transport and dispersion of atmospheric tracers. At the request of the Washington VAAC (volcanic ash advisory center), Alice Crawford provided HYSPLIT runs simulating the eruption of Agung volcano in Bali. The…
