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.
Here is the information of trajectory calculation:
