             "FLEXPART development and application 
         at the Austrian Meteorological Service (ZAMG)"

he FLEXPART model is used at ZAMG in various operational 
applications as well as research projects. The operational 
applications include Nuclear Emergency Response modelling, 
volcanic ash modelling, and the verification of the Comprehensive 
Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). For CTBT verification, FLEXPART is 
applied not only in forward mode to predict transport from known 
events, but also in backward mode to analyse and interpret 
relevant radionuclide detections at CTBTO monitoring stations. As 
further application, the FLEXPART model is used to interpret 
environmental measurements of trace gases at background monitoring 
stations in Europe.

On the research side, ZAMG works on the analysis of the FLEXPART 
model performance during the Fukushima nuclear accident, and in 
particular on the improvement of the deposition parameterization 
of the model. Furthermore, a web portal flexpart.eu is currently 
under development, which will provide the FLEXPART software to the 
scientific community together with better documentation, improved 
pre- and post-processing routines and a better version control 
system.
