Documentation
| MetCor User Manual (PDF, 0.7 MB) | A comprehensive guide to installing and using MetCor. This document is included in installation packages below. Updated Mar. 15, 2012. Additional Notes: 1) MetCor treats concentration thresholds as "greater than or equal to" 2) For grid sizes other than 1 deg. x 1 deg., the headers of the output files must be changed for proper use with GIS software. In particular, the "yllcorner" field must be corrected manually. |

Executables, Scripts and Macros
| MetCor v.0.8 (Beta) Setup File: (2 GB) MetCor v.0.9 (Beta) Setup File: (2 GB) Installation README By downloading and installing MetCor you agree to the terms of the License Agreement and Disclaimer. | For
Windows Vista, 7 and XP. Bundled with the Java Runtime Environment
version 1.6.0 (build 7), additional tools and documentation. The (2 GB) option will install a version of MetCor which uses a constant amount of memory (256 MB to 1.4 GB) and is optimized for use on systems with at least 2 GB of RAM. |
| GNUPlot Heatmap Bash Scripts (.tar, 2KB) | For visualizing PSCF matrices without GIS software. Supported on platforms with GNUPlot version 4.4 installed. |
| Elevation Plot Macro (.xls, 0.6 MB) | For plotting elevation files generated by MetCor. Tested with Microsoft Excel 2002 and newer. NOTE: Macro security in Excel must be reduced to the "Low" or "Medium" level in order for the Elevation Plot worksheet to work. |
| HYSPLIT Download Macro (.iim, 2 KB) GDAS Date Indices | An iMacros template script for downloading HYSPLIT trajectories from the NOAA ARL READY Website. The contents of the iMacros script must be modified in order to obtain the desired trajectory models. See the iMacros wiki for more information. NOTE: Neither the macro or MetCor takes into account any duplicate entries in the HYSPLIT back trajectories. Duplicate endpoints may occur as a result of date overlaps. |
