Forecast products for CONTRACE and UTOPIHAN provided by the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany 

Below you can find three-day meteorological forecasts and three-day tracer transport forecasts calculated with the tracer transport model FLEXPART and the trajectory model FLEXTRA for the aircraft measurement campaigns CONTRACE (Convective Transport of Trace Gases into the Upper Troposphere over Europe) and UTOPIHAN (Upper Tropospheric Ozone: Processes Involving HOx and NOx The Impact of Aviation and Convectively Transported Pollutants in the Tropopause Region).

CONTRACE is funded by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung within the framework of the German Atmospheric Research Programme 2000.
