    • FLEXPART development wiki pages**

This page is intended for discussing and documenting past, ongoing and future FLEXPART development and releases. Sometimes it becomes hard to remember which version of FLEXPART has which features, and which are the next implementation steps. There could also be some documentation on the header and data file formats gathered on this page later on.

+----------------------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------+ | FLEXPART Version | Release type | Description | +======================+======================+=================================================+ | Version 6.4 | Major stable release | EMOS library, Absoft compiler | +----------------------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------+ | Version 7.X | Internal release | Aerosol tracers, Sparse matrix output | +----------------------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------+ | Version 8.0 | Major public release | Grib API, Aerosol tracers, Sparse matrix output | +----------------------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------+ | Version 8.1 | Bugfix release | Deposition, gfortran compatibility, 64Bit comp. | +----------------------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------+ | Version 9.0 | Major modification | Conversion to Fortran 90, cleaned code, | +----------------------+----------------------+-------------------------------------------------+


    • Next minor FLEXPART version**

The next minor Flexpart version 8.2 could contain a number of features that enhance usability and performance. These are just some ideas, please add your own ideas! Once it is decided which features should be prioritized, progress on that work can be documented here.

- ECMWF super computer compatibility (as far as it does not work already) - Parallelization commands using `Open-MPI <http://www.open-mpi.org/>`_ standard syntax - improved configure/make utilities for installing and compiling the code - improved forest fire emissions scheme, currently in development by Jerome Brioude, NOAA - updated EDGAR emissions inventory


    • Next major FLEXPART version**

The next major Flexpart version 9.0 could lead towards the development of the leading state-of-the-art Lagrangian CTM.

- dust tracers - data assimilation - chemical reactions


    • FLEXPART branches**

- **FLEXPART64_WATER**:

 this branch of FLEXPART has some modifications that allow to use the 
 particle dump output for tracing water transport. Modifications affect mainly the particle 
 dump method and a modification of particle lifetime settings that allow to trace particles outside a limited domain.

- **FLEXPART80_WATER**:

 implementation of water tracing based on FLEXPART 8.0

- **FLEXPART_WRF**:

 I/O of netCDF format data from WRF/MM5 model

- **FLEXPART_INVERSION**:

 is there a special version of FLEXPART for the inversion tool?
