| 182 | <p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Flex_extract</span></code> is an open-source software to retrieve meteorological fields from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Mars archive to serve as input files for the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FLEXTRA</span></code>/<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FLEXPART</span></code> Atmospheric Transport Modelling system. |
---|
| 183 | <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Flex_extract</span></code> was created explicitly for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FLEXPART</span></code> users who wants to use meteorological data from ECMWF to drive the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FLEXPART</span></code> model. |
---|
| 184 | The software retrieves the minimal number of parameters <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FLEXPART</span></code> needs to work and provides the data in the explicity format <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FLEXPART</span></code> understands.</p> |
---|
| 185 | <dl class="docutils"> |
---|
| 186 | <dt><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Flex_extract</span></code> consists of 2 main parts:</dt> |
---|
| 187 | <dd><ol class="first last arabic simple"> |
---|
| 188 | <li>a Python part, where the reading of parameter settings, retrieving data from MARS and preparing the data for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">FLEXPART</span></code> is done and</li> |
---|
| 189 | <li>a Fortran part, where the calculation of the vertical velocity is done and if necessary the conversion from spectral to regular latitude/longitude grids.</li> |
---|
| 190 | </ol> |
---|
| 191 | </dd> |
---|
| 192 | </dl> |
---|
| 193 | <p>Additionally, it has some Korn shell scripts which are used to set the environment and batch job features on ECMWF servers for the <em>gateway</em> and <em>remote</em> mode. See <a class="reference internal" href="Overview/app_modes.html"><span class="doc">Application Modes</span></a> for information of application modes.</p> |
---|
| 194 | <p>A number of Shell scripts are wrapped around the software package for easy installation and fast job submission.</p> |
---|
| 195 | <p>The software depends on a number of third-party libraries which can be found in <a class="reference internal" href="../installation.html#ref-requirements"><span class="std std-ref">Environment requirements</span></a>.</p> |
---|
| 196 | <p>Some details on the tasks and program worksteps are described in <a class="reference internal" href="Overview/prog_flow.html"><span class="doc">Program Flow</span></a>.</p> |
