FLEXPART Model/DailyFiles

• • Getting the daily files and other retrievals for FLEXPART from ECMWF**

• • Daily retrievals**

 /ms/no/sbd/flex_extract_daily_V3/

cronjob:

 00 02 * * *  /home/ms/no/sbd/flex_extract_daily_V3/submit

extract_ecmwf_ftpbase is submitted for retrieval

had to change V2 to V3 because of singularity at the pole

changes since V2:

- included parameters META=0,METADIFF in extract_daily_ftpbase - M_SMOOTH set to 179 - M_GRID set to 100 - exchanged source.tar

• • Special retrievals**

 /ms/no/sbd/flex_extract_ecgate_V3/

same changes as above also apply to flex_extract_ecgate_V3 (linked as fee3)

note: my (user sbd) version of fee2/3 contains modifications to run several retrievals in parallel implemented via PID identifiers
