This icon runs the FLEXPART Lagrangian particle dispersion model and converts its outputs to formats that Metview can work with. For help on editing icons, please see Editing Icons.

The macro language equivalent is flexpart_run().


...

Enables the usage of receptor sites (on or off). When it is enabled the list of receptor sites can be defined via Receptor Names, Receptor Latitudes and Receptor LongitudeLongitudes. The default value is off. For more details about receptor output click here.

...

Specifies the list of receptor site latitudes. The default value is an empty list.

...

Receptor Longitudes

Specifies the list of receptor site longitudes. The default value is an empty list.

...

Specifies the factor by which the time step must be smaller than the Lagrangian time scale (TL). CTL must be >1 for time steps shorter than the Lagrangian time scale. If CTL<0, a purely random walk simulation is done. The default value -45.

Vertical Timestep Reduction

...

Enables the domain fill mode. The possible values are as follows:

  • noneno: domain fill is disabled
  • full: in this mode the the particles are not released at specific locations but the 3D-volume of the first release is taken and the particles are uniformly distributed in the volume proportionally to air density. Each particle will receive the same mass, altogether accounting for the total atmospheric mass. Subsequently, particles can move freely in the atmosphere.
  • o3_tracer: in this mode domain-filling is to simulate a stratospheric ozone tracer. This option is similar to fill option, but only particles in the stratosphere (defined by PV < 2 pvu) are released.

The default value is none no.

Sensitivity

Enables computing sensitivity to initial conditions in backward simulations. The possible values are none no, mass (mass concentration units) or mixr (mass mixing ratio units). The default value is none.
