The Basic HYSPLIT tutorial can be used to familiarize yourself with the installation
of HYSPLIT, particularly on a Windows computer and Mac (Linux is similar and can run the same GUIs),
how to run the model through the included
series of menus (GUIs), and how to interpret the results of a simulation. The Extended
tutorial is meant to be a guide to running more complex applications on a Windows or
LINUX computer through a series of batch files. You will need to install the Windows/Mac/LINUX
version of the model prior to running any of the examples.

Vmixing Tutorial - a description of how to
use the vmixing program.
Vmixing is run from the command-line or from scripts—rather than the Graphical User
Interface—and so is used by more advanced users. It extracts data and calculates
vertical mixing parameters from meteorological data.
