| 5 | ``Flex_extract`` 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 ``FLEXTRA``/``FLEXPART`` atmospheric transport modelling system. |
|---|
| 6 | ``Flex_extract`` was created explicitly for ``FLEXPART`` users who want to use meteorological data from ECMWF to drive the ``FLEXPART`` model. |
|---|
| 7 | The software retrieves the minimum set of parameters needed by ``FLEXPART`` to work, and provides the data in the specific format required by ``FLEXPART``. |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | ``Flex_extract`` consists of two main parts: |
|---|
| 10 | 1. a Python part which reads the parameter settings, retrieves the data from MARS, and prepares them for ``FLEXPART``, and |
|---|
| 11 | 2. a Fortran part which calculates the vertical velocity and, if necessary, converts variables from the spectral representation to regular latitude/longitude grids. |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | In addition, there are some Korn shell scripts to set the environment and batch job features on ECMWF servers for the *gateway* and *remote* mode. See :doc:`Overview/app_modes` for information of application modes. |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | A number of Shell scripts are wrapped around the software package for easy installation and fast job submission. |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | The software depends on some third-party libraries as listed in :ref:`ref-requirements`. |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | Details of the tasks and program work steps are described in :doc:`Overview/prog_flow`. |
