The FLEXible PARTicle dispersion model (FLEXPART) is a widely used atmospheric transport model simulating the dispersion of gases and aerosols in the atmosphere. FLEXPART relies on gridded meteorological fields, including winds, temperature, pressure, and humidity to determine the movement of its computational particles. Typically, these fields are provided by atmospheric (re-)analyses or operational weather forecast models. While the ever-increasing resolution of such data sets is beneficial to the accuracy of FLEXPART, it is also a challenge to its users, as the data sets require a large amount of storage space and become increasingly computationally expensive to read and process. To make FLEXPART more accessible and easy to use, we have developed a web service (called FLEXWEB), where FLEXPART can be run via a web interface. As soon as the simulation is complete, the model output is made available for download and displayed graphically in the web browser. In this workshop, you will learn how use FLEXWEB for running your own FLEXPART simulations and how to analyze the output it produces. The workshop will consist of a short introductory presentation followed by two practical exercises. Everyone is welcome to attend.
