TL;DR: The Lagrangian particle dispersion model FLEXPART was originally designed for calculating the long-range and mesoscale dispersion of air pollutants from point sources, such as after an accident in a nuclear power plant.
Abstract: The Lagrangian particle dispersion model FLEXPART was originally (about 8 years ago) designed for calculating the long-range and mesoscale dispersion of air pollutants from point sources, such as after an accident in a nuclear power plant In the meantime FLEXPART has evolved into a comprehensive tool for atmospheric transport modeling and analysis Its application fields were extended from air pollution studies to other topics where atmospheric transport plays a role (eg, exchange between the stratosphere and troposphere, or the global water cycle) It has evolved into a true community model that is now being used by at least 25 groups from 14 different countries and is seeing both operational and research applications A user manual has been kept actual over the years and was distributed over an internet page along with the model's source code In this note we provide a citeable technical description of FLEXPART's latest version (62)

TL;DR: Patterns of the epidemiological transition with a composite indicator of sociodemographic status, which was constructed from income per person, average years of schooling after age 15 years, and the total fertility rate and mean age of the population, were quantified.

TL;DR: The uvspec program, a suite of tools for radiative transfer calculations in the Earth's atmosphere, and additional tools included with libRadtran are described and realistic examples of their use are given.
Abstract: . The libRadtran software package is a suite of tools for radiative transfer calculations in the Earth's atmosphere. Its main tool is the uvspec program. It may be used to compute radiances, irradiances and actinic fluxes in the solar and terrestrial part of the spectrum. The design of uvspec allows simple problems to be easily solved using defaults and included data, hence making it suitable for educational purposes. At the same time the flexibility in how and what input may be specified makes it a powerful and versatile tool for research tasks. The uvspec tool and additional tools included with libRadtran are described and realistic examples of their use are given. The libRadtran software package is available from http://www.libradtran.org.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize data on aerosol physical characteristics, which were obtained in European aerosol research activities at free-troposphere, natural, rural, near-city, urban, and kerbside sites over the past decade.
