print(r)

Here we defined both the input and output path and specified the simulation period, the output grid and levels as well. We also told FLEXPART to generate gridded mass concentration and flux fields and plume trajectories on output..

Info

The actual species that will be released is defined as an integer number (for details about using the species see here). With the default species settings number 8 stands for SO2.

...

  • conc_s001.grib is a GRIB file containing the gridded concentration fields
  • flux_s001.grib is a GRIB file containing the gridded flux fieldstr_r1.csv is a CSV file containing the plume trajectories

Info

Please note that these are not the original outputs form FLEXTRA but were converted to formats more suitable for use in Metview. For details about the FLEXPART outputs click here.
