Flexpart-WRF grid_flux Output

[acificap]

I've been reading the documentation, and there's very little to say at all about the IFLUX option. I have three questions:

• How is it calculated?
• Flux through what surface?
• What format is the output? (it doesn't appear to be grib2 or netcdf)

These are very good questions.
I don't have any experience with IFLUX.
Someone else need to take this ticket.

• to some extent, the flux calculation are based on air particles number.
• what the surface the flux through are totally determinded by your outgrid setting, namely, the 3-D grided flux.
• I guess the flux output is in binnary format. you could change the format as well through modifing the file "fluxoutput.f90".

acifiap, are your questions sufficiently answered?
I'd like to close the ticket, unless there is still something open. Look also into ​http://flexpart.eu/downloads/26, I hope there is more documentation.
