Getting started with tropolink
The web application tropolink allows the user to compute and explore connectivity between distant geographic locations generated by trajectories of air masses simulated, within tropolink, by the HYSPLIT software. Air masses carry numerous particles and small organisms relevant for health and the environment. The application allows the user to identify highly connected places, variation in connectivity across time, but also to buid risk maps, to construct contact networks that can be included in propagation models or compared to other networks or patterns (e.g., trade networks, spatial distribution of a species, genetic patterns...), etc.
