== FLEXPART meteorological input from ECMWF == In order to extract data from the ECMWF MARS archive, one needs a member-state or special-project account. People having no access to ECMWF need to rely on the [FpInputMetGfs NCEP data]. Software for retrieving ECMWF data in the specific format needed by FLEXPART is kindly provided by Leopold Haimberger, Gerhard Wotawa, and others: * [download:15 ECMWF data retrieval software, V2.1] * [download:16 ECMWF data retrieval software, V4], allows to retrieve compressed ECMWF data on old AIX ecgate in mixed GRIB1/GRIB2 coding * [download:46 ECMWF data retrieval software, V4.1], allows to retrieve compressed ECMWF data on new Linux ecgate in mixed GRIB1/GRIB2 coding * [], a new version for retrieval with 1h time resolution and other enhancements will be uploaded here by the end of the year.
