First, we define the parameter and time step for the cross section then call flexpart_filter() to extract the data. The result is a fieldset with units of "kg m**-3" that , which we need to scale explicitly convert to "ng m**-3" units for plotting since the automatic units scaling only works for map based plots.

Next, we define the cross section view along this line:

Then, we define the contouring:

#The contour levels
cont_list=[1,10,50,100,150,200,250,500,750,1000,2000,5000,7000]
#Define contour shading
conc_shade = mcont(
legend : "on",
contour : "off",
contour_level_selection_type : "level_list",
contour_level_list : cont_list,
contour_label : "off",
contour_shade : "on",
contour_shade_method : "area_fill",
contour_shade_max_level_colour : "red",
contour_shade_min_level_colour : "RGB(0.14,0.37,0.86)",
contour_shade_colour_direction : "clockwise",
contour_method: "linear"
) |
Then, we define the cross section view along this line:

xs_view = mxsectview(
bottom_level : 0,
top_level : 16000,
line : [63.31,-25,63.31,9]

and finally generate the plot:
