Outputs

Metview runs FLEXPART in a temporary directory. Having finished the simulation Metview converts and rename the output files and move them into the Output Path directory specified in the FLEXPART Run icon. FLEXPART produces a variety of outputs whicha re

The output metadata information is stored in a file called header( see writeheader.f)

Gridded outputs

Gridded outputs are converted to grib using a local grib definition built-in into Metview.

Wet and dry deposition is always zero in time. In conc and pptv files they are also zero but unless turned on internally (via WETDEP and DRYDEP). Whether WETDEP/DRYDEP is turned on or off depends on the given species.
