FLEXPART predecessor
FLEXTRA trajectory model: https://flexpart.img.univie.ac.at/flextra/index.html
FLEXTRA is a programme to calculate mean-wind trajectories. Because FLEXTRA operates directly on the ECMWF eta levels, FLEXTRA trajectories will be more accurate than those in FLEXPART. However, it does not include turbulence or loss processes. It produces coordinates of the air parcel path along with some meteorological information for each trajectory point. FLEXTRA is written in Fortran77.
