What are the differences between HYSPLIT and FlexPart?
Posted: January 16th, 2026, 4:32 am
Hi all,
I've started a PhD 3 month ago about combined effect of wildfires and heatwaves on human health.
I'm interested in atmospheric dispersion models that can represent smoke plume trajectories, such as FlexPart, HYSPLIT, and MesoNH.
I would like to know what are the differences between HYSPLIT and FlexPart, and which one is best suited for a given situation.
If you have any articles to share, I will be happy.
Thank you,
Cheers
