FLEXWEB builds on FLEXPART
FLEXPART (FLEXible PARTicle dispersion model) is a widely
used
Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model (LPDM)
designed for simulating the atmospheric transport, diffusion, and deposition of tracers.
It operates by tracking the trajectories of a large number of 'particles' released into the
atmosphere,
allowing it to calculate source-receptor relationships, concentration fields, and atmospheric
transport
patterns
for various applications (e.g., pollutant releases, wildfire smoke, or greenhouse gases). For more
information please refer to flexpart.eu
This service employs the latest version of ECMWF
ERA5 reanalysis data, which provides a comprehensive and high-resolution dataset of
atmospheric
conditions. The ERA5 dataset is crucial for initializing and driving the FLEXPART model, ensuring
accurate simulations of particle dispersion based on real-world meteorological data.
