Users • What are the differences between HYSPLIT and FlexPart?

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
