Specifies the location of the output data files. Both an absolute and relative path can be given here. Please note that Metview converts FLEXPART output into other formats and only these converted results are copied from the work directory into Output Path. For further details about the output formats please click here.
Input Data
Specifies the location of the input data files and the AVAILABLE file using a FLEXPART Prepare icon. Please note that if an icon is set here it takes precedence over the path specified in Input Path.
...
Specifies the location of the user defined parameter files (IGBP_int1.dat, OH_7lev_agl.dat, surfdata.t, surfdepo.t ) needed to run FLEXPART. Both an absolute and relative path can be given here. If it is left blank (this is the default) Metview will use the MV_FLEXPART_RESOURCES environment variable to locate the resources. For further details about the resources click here.
Simulation Direction
Specifies the FLEXPART simulation direction in time. The possible values are: Forward and Backward. The default value is Forward.
...
Specifies the units of the mass of the released species. The possible options are mass and mixr. The default value is mass. See the table below to find out what the actual units mean.
