Concentration fields are only produced for forward simulations when Output Field Type is set to conc or both in FLEXPART Run.
The output filename is:
conc_sSSS.grib
where SSS is the species number (with leading zeros). The actual field type and units are based on the Receptor Units settings in the FLEXPART Run icon.
...
Volume mixing ratio fields are only produced for forward simulations when Output Field Type is set to mixr or both in FLEXPART Run.
The output filename is:
pptv_sSSS.grib
where SSS is the species number (with leading zeros).
...
These fields are only produced for forward simulations when Output Flux is set to on in FLEXPART Run. The output filename is:
flux_sSSS.grib
where SSS is the species number (with leading zeros).

Plume trajectories
Trajectories are produced when Output Trajectory is set to on in FLEXPART Run. The ASCII file generated by FLEXPART is split according to releases and converted into another (CSV) format that is better suited to metview. The output filenames are:
tr_rR.csv
where R is the release number. The first row in the trajectory file contains metadata as a set of key value pairs, while the the second row contains the header.
...
Output at receptor points are produced when Receptors is set to on in FLEXPART Run. The binary file generated by FLEXPART is split according to species and converted to CSV.
When Receptor Units is set to mass in FLEXPART Run the output filename is:
receptor_conc_sSSS.
