The pflexible module

A brief description of the module

The pflexible module is developed to work with output from the Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model, FLEXPART .

The module relies extensively on the users knowledge of FLEXPART data in general, and thus one is strongly encouraged to read the users guide which explains some basics regarding the model.

Note If you are interested in contributing functionality for other FLEXPART versions, please contact me at jfburkhart@gmail.com

Purpose

The purpose of the module is to make the creation of some standard plotting products as easy as possible. However, due to the complex nature of FLEXPART output, this isn’t so easy! Regardless, I hope you find some of the functionality helpful. The most critical functions are readheader and readgrid which will at least get the data into Python so you can play with it as you are most comfortable.

Warning

You are entering the domain of a scientist trying to write code. Constructive input is sought, but don’t complain if something breaks!
