FLEXPART validation with the use of CMET balloons
During the campaign in August 2010, five controlled meteorological (CMET) balloons where launched from Ny-Ålesund. Paul B. Voss developed the CMET balloons, and they are adapted to operate in the Arctic environment. They are known for their light weigh (approximately ½ kg) and the ability to perform repeated vertical soundings.

Validation and sensitivity analysis of the FLEXPART model using the Kincaid experiment data
FLEXPART, a Lagrangian particle dispersion model, is widely used in atmospheric dispersion and nuclear emergency response studies. However, a systematic sensitivity analysis of this model is still lacking.

Extreme precipitation events in the Mediterranean area: contrasting two different models for moisture source identification [PDF]
Concern about heavy precipitation events has increasingly grown in the last years in southern Europe, especially in the Mediterranean region. These occasional episodes can result in more than 200 mm of rainfall in less than 24 h, producing flash floods ...

Comparisons between the distributions of dust and combustion aerosols in MERRA-2, FLEXPART, and CALIPSO and implications for deposition freezing over wintertime Siberia [PDF]
Aerosol distributions have a potentially large influence on climate-relevant cloud properties but can be difficult to observe over the Arctic given pervasive cloudiness, long polar nights, data paucity over remote regions, and periodic diamond dust ...
