TrajStat is a free software with some trajectory statistics functions.

The
trajectory calculation module of HYSPLIT
(http://www.arl.noaa.gov/ready/hysplit4.html) (Draxler and Hess, 1998) was
included in TrajStat as an external process to calculate trajectories. Monthly
trajectories could be calculated in TrajStat, and the trajectories could be
converted to GIS (Geographic Information System) line shape file. Cluster analysis
function is in the software. Measurement data could be added to the corresponding
trajectories, so the trajectories could be selected according to the measurement
data. The software also could do PSCF (Potential Source Contribution Function) and
CWT (Concentration Weighted Trajectory) analysis which is useful to identify
pollution sources spatially for long-term environment measurement.

The software also has some GIS functions which allow the users to customize the
trajectory map. Open-source MapWindowGIS ActiveX Control
(http://www.mapwindow.com/) (MapWindow open source team, 2007) was used in this
software in which ESRI shape file could be added.
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 has to be installed before using TrajStat 1.0, so it
only could be used in Microsoft Windows environment.

New Features

Version 1.1.1:
1. Labels could be saved and edited.
2. Some legend edit functions were added.
3. The trajectory shape file created by ��Convert To Shape File�� function
added ��Year��, ��Month��, ��Day�� and ��Hour�� fields. So the trajectory could be
queried with date more conveniently. For the trajectory shape file created by old
version, ��Add YMDH Fields�� function could add the fields.
4. Some bugs were corrected.

Version 1.1:
1. Trajectory line shape file type changed from ��Polyline�� to ��PolylineZ��.
That means each point of a trajectory line is 3-D with press as Z. TrajStat 1.0
users could recreate trajectory line shape using ��Convert To Shape File��
function.
2. Add the function to show press profile of the trajectory with 2-D and 3-D
chart.
3. Add the function to do CWT (Concentration Weighted Trajectory) analysis.
4. The attribute data of the layer could be edited.
5. Color scheme could be set to layer.
