# pyPSCF

The Potential Source Contribution Function is a tool to investigate the geographical sources origin of chemical species in the atmosphere.

See the UserGuide for detailed information.

# Compute large number of backtrajectories

Under the hood [hysplit](https://ready.arl.noaa.gov/HYSPLIT.php) is used to compute backtrajectories. This GUI allows you to compute easily large number of backtrajectories given a starting date and an end date.


# Install

Simply clone this repo if you are used to git:

git clone https://gricad-gitlab.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/webersa/pyPSCF.git

or download the zipped archive.

You will need python and some other dependancies. See the [docs](https://pyPSCF.readthedocs.org).

# Compute PSCF

## Select parameters

The second tab of the GUI are the PSCF parameters.


## Output

A figure will show up with the PSCF in colorscale. You can clic on a gridcell to see all the backtrajectories that pass through this gridcell.
