2D and 3D Trajectories

The use of trajectories is an important aid for scientists in the study of the origin of air-masses. For 2D and 3D trajectories different types of visualisation and data outputs are presented thought as useful tools for a simple understanding of the transport of air masses to a specific EMEP station.

  • 2D Trajectories

    • 2D trajectory data available from EMEP/MSC-W are calculated 96h trajectories, daily sector values and trajectory crossings for all EMEP stations from 1985 to 2009.

  • 3D Trajectories

    • 3D trajectory data available from EMEP/CCC are calculated using Flextra trajectory model for 34 locations from 1996 until present date minus 2 days.
