Over the last six months, I have been using a trajectory model LAGRANTO by ETH Zurich. This model offers very broad functionality that can be used in various research problems. I personally found it extremely helpful to study the motion of Arctic air masses and the modification of their characteristics.
Here is a small example of using LAGRANTO in the network of our department:

On July 30 at 2.30 pm I will be giving a workshop as a part CAOS Student Workshop series. We will briefly discuss the science behind the model, its comparison with the HYSPLIT trajectory model and go through some of its capabilities. In the end, there will be a short tutorial where you will try to run the model and manipulate the trajectories to identify warm conveyor belts.

See you there,
