8. EUCAARI-FLEXPART Traditional Products: Retroplume Summary Three dimensional product:  Particle plume centroid locations plotted by circles  Size is a function of number of particles in cluster  Color represents elevation  Numbers indicate days back in time Centroid characteristics are also shown:  Altitude  % ABL – atmospheric boundary layer  %STR – stratosphere

10. EUCAARI-FLEXPART Traditional Products: Footprint Emissions Sensitivity Footprint PES lowest model layer 0-100m Units: ns kg -1

11. EUCAARI-FLEXPART Traditional Products: CO, NO2, SO2 Source Contribution Product:  we fold (i.e., multiply) the PES footprint with the emission flux densities (in unitsof kg m−2 s−1) taken from an appropriate emission inventory. Result: potential source contribution (PSC) plot (in units of ppbv m−2)‏ global EDGAR 3.2 Fast Track 2000 dataset (Olivier et al., 2001) and blend this global inventory with higher-resolution regional inventories where North American inventory from Frost et al. (2006)‏ European inventory from the UNECE/EMEP (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe/Cooperative Programme for Monitoring and Evaluation of Long Range Transmission of Air Pollutants in Europe) emission database (Vestreng et al., 2005).

12. EUCAARI-FLEXPART Traditional Products: Emissions Time Series Agespectrum North American, Asian, European, African, South American, Australian Advantage of integrated system: comparing model results with measured time series of long-lived tracers (e.g., CO), the model’s skill can be checked. Cases where an observed event is not reproduced by the model can be identified. Likely indicates:  a source missing in the emission inventories used, or  errors in the simulated transport. This important quality check cannot be done when using classical trajectories.
