I am using flexpart wrf and I am a beginner here .. I didn't get a netcdf output so i can't analyase the data after run ... any small help will be highly apreciatable
I am sai prasad and I am working on flexpart wrf 3.3.2 and I am a beginner.
I run the model succesfully and i get the files are

grid_time_20100518070000_001
grid_time_20100518080000_001
grid_time_20100518090000_001

these files didnt have better format and it is not .txt,.grib or .nc
so we cant analyse it easily... please help im a beginner and the small help also makes big impact on me

You have to study the documentation. For example, if you look into flexwrf.input.forward1, you can see that there is a parameter IOUTTYPE which governs the output format. You have selected the default binary format. To read this format you need some code, see FpOutput.

i tried to do with IOUTTYPE=2 which is for netcdf format .. but i run for both concentration and trajectory ..but the trajectory is in .txt format only. concentration getting in netcdf but trajectory not.. what i want to do please help me

please help me with some documents also

There is no netcdf output for trajectories. What's your problem with a simple text format? It is easy to read.

the txt file getting while running for trajectory

[sprasad]

while i using the 5th option in IOUT which is for concentration and trajectory ...trajectory is getting in txt format and it is not accessible.. iam a msc student and i dont have better knowledge about these all
these txt files didnt mention what are the variables in it and so i cant read that data
pleAse help me with some knowledge
in the above you mentioned some documentaion...please tell where i get it also...

need the help how can we use that txt file which is not in better format'

What exactly is the problem with the text file? It is even human-readable.
In any case, this is something you need to solve with your supervisor, not FLEXPART developers. And if you need only simple trajectories it might be better to use Flextra (which also produces text files as output - what else?)
