NILU Forecast Products based on a combination of the GFS, FLEXTRA, and FLEXPART models


This is the entrance portal to tracer forecasts using the transport model FLEXPART, trajectory forecasts using the trajectory model FLEXTRA, and some plots of meteorological parameters.

Please read this important information first before using the model products.

While all trajectory and meteorology plots are produced by the forecast system and directly accessible through this webpage, only a few selected tracer plots are provided. We recommend to use this interactive tool for plotting FLEXPART tracers:

The interactive tool for producing custom-made plots


CO-Tracers Trajectories Meteorol. fields


FLEXPART Tracers

Here, a few static tracer plots are provided for orientation.
The main access to the FLEXPART products is via the interactive tool above.
Please note that also NO2 and SO2 tracers are available via the interactive tool.
