Overview
MetCor (Meteorological
Correlation) is a free program used mainly for the computation of Potential Source Contribution Function (PSCF)[1] matrices which can be visualized by geographical informations system (GIS) software. Calculation of PSCF matrices is accomplished by analysis of data contained in geospatial coordinates. Geospatial coordinates can exist as
endpoints in meteorological
backward or forward trajectories. Data
is added to these endpoints on the basis of a unique
identifier
given to points belonging to the same trajectory, which is the starting date and starting elevation.
Features: - support for NOAA HYSPLIT and CMC three-dimensional trajectories - statistical tools for endpoint analysis - variable grid resolutions for PSCF matrices - highly flexible text-based method for adding data to endpoints - can be used to plot multiple back trajectories as a matrix 1.
