The FLEXPART Release Editor
...
Name
...
Specifies the location of the output data files. Both an absolute and relative path can be given 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 preference over the path specified in Input Path.
Input Path
Specifies the location of the input data files and the AVAILABLE file. Both an absolute and relative path can be given here. Please note that when an icon is specified in Input Data the path specified here is ignored.
User Exe Path
Specifies a user defined FLEXPART executable. Both absolute and relative path can be given here. If it is left blank (this is the default) Metview will use the MV_FLEXPART_EXE environment variable to locate the executable.
User Resources 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
Simulation Direction
name of the release (maximum 40 characters).
Starting Date
Specifies the beginning date of the simulation release in YYYYMMDD
format. Relative dates with respect to the run date of the FLEXPART simulation (defined by parameter Starting Date in FLEXPART Run) are allowed: e.g. 0 means run date, 1 means the day after the run date, etc. The default value is 0.
Starting Time
Specifies the beginning time of the simulation release in HH[:MM[:SS]]
format.
Ending Date
Specifies the ending date of the simulation release in YYYYMMDD
format. Relative dates with respect to the run date of the FLEXPART simulation (defined by parameter Starting Date in FLEXPART Run) are allowed: e.g. -1 0 means yesterdayrun date, 0 means today, etc. 1 means the day after the run date, etc. The default value is 0.
Ending Time
Specifies the ending time of the simulation release in HH[:MM[:SS]]
format.
...
Area
Specifies the frequency area for the output generation. The output is averaged over the period given in Output Averaging Interval. The format is HHHH[:MM[:SS]]
release in degrees in S/W/N/E
format. The default value is 3 (hours).
...
-90/-180/90/180.
Level Units
Specifies the averaging interval for the output generation in HHHH[:MM[:SS]]
format. If 0 is given here instantaneous values are written into the output files. The default value is 3 (hours).
Output Sampling Rate
Specifies the sampling rate used for the averaging of the output. This period must be shorter than the Output Averaging Interval. The format is HHHH[:MM[:SS]]
. The default value is 1 (hour).
Output Field Type
Specifies the type of the gridded output fields. The possible values are:
...
units for the release vertical extent. The possible values are agl (metres above ground level), asl (metres above sea level) and hPa. The default value is agl.
Bottom Level
Specifies the bottom level of the release.
Top Level
Specifies the top level of the release.
Particle Count
Specifies the number of particles released.
Masses
...
Specifies the list of total masses of the released species. The number of masses given here must match the number of species defined via the Release Species parameter of FLEXPART Run. The actual units of the masses is defined by the Release Units parameter of FLEXPART Run. Please note that for backward simulations any non-zero positive value can stand here because the output is normalised by this value!
