In this series of videos, we will be reviewing each section of the HYSPLIT tutorial.  

The tutorial is focused on running HYSPLIT on a windows PC, although both the Mac and Linux systems are also supported. 

The operation of the graphical user interface is similar on all platforms, although not all functions are available on all systems.

The tutorial is designed for interactive participation and it is most effective when all the tutorial files have been installed on your computer.

However if you do not have access to the tutorial DVD, USB, or ZIP file distribution, you may follow along with one of the on-line versions, available at the NOAA ARL web site or HYSPLIT.com.

If the tutorial has been installed properly on your computer, then if you open windows explorer, you should find the tutorial directory off the home drive.  Scripts and other examples are easier to follow with this file arrangement.

Open index.html in your browser to see the tutorial contents. We will begin the next section, by installing HYSPLIT.  You may skip this if HYSPLIT is already installed on your computer.
