Dominant transport pathways in an atmospheric blocking event [PDF]
A Lagrangian flow network is constructed for the atmospheric blocking of eastern Europe and western Russia in summer 2010. We compute the most probable paths followed by fluid particles which reveal the {\it Omega}-block skeleton of the event.

Forecasting long-range atmospheric transport episodes of polychlorinated biphenyls using FLEXPART [PDF]
The analysis of concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in ambient air is costly and can only be done for a limited number of samples. It is thus beneficial to maximize the information content of the samples analyzed via a targeted observation strategy.

Unraveling the discrepancies between Eulerian and Lagrangian moisture tracking models in monsoon- and westerly-dominated basins of the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Eulerian and Lagrangian numerical moisture tracking models, which are primarily used to quantify moisture contributions from global sources to specific regions, play a crucial role in hydrology and (paleo)climatology studies on the Tibetan Plateau (TP ...

Impact of transport model resolution and a priori assumptions on inverse modeling of Swiss F-gas emissions [PDF]
Inverse modeling is a widely used top-down method to infer greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their spatial distribution based on atmospheric observations.

Sources and Secondary Production of Organic Aerosols in the Northeastern United States during WINTER [PDF]
Most intensive field studies investigating aerosols have been conducted in summer, and thus, wintertime aerosol sources and chemistry are comparatively poorly understood.

The Lagrangian particle dispersion model FLEXPART version 10.4 [PDF]
<p>Following its release and corresponding publication in GMD, we present the Lagrangian model FLEXPART 10.4, which simulates the transport, diffusion, dry and wet deposition, radioactive decay and first order chemical reactions of atmospheric tracers.

Three-dimensional methane distribution simulated with FLEXPART 8-CTM-1.1 constrained with observation data [PDF]
A Lagrangian particle dispersion model, the FLEXible PARTicle dispersion chemical transport model (FLEXPART CTM), is used to simulate global three-dimensional fields of trace gas abundance.

Contribution of water-limited ecoregions to their own supply of rainfall [PDF]
The occurrence of wet and dry growing seasons in water-limited regions remains poorly understood, partly due to the complex role that these regions play in the genesis of their own rainfall.
