<abstract>
<p>Lagrangian particle dispersion models (LPDMs) are widely used tools in atmospheric sciences, from the interpretation of in situ measurements to source&amp;ndash;receptor analysis and inverse modeling of surface fluxes. Their practical use, however, still requires a level of technical expertise (compilation of Fortran code, per-dataset preprocessors, fragmented configuration files) that is unrelated to the physics of the problem being studied. In this paper, we present EASLEE (Efficient AtmoSpheric Lagrangian Easy-to-usE model) version 1.1, a new Lagrangian particle dispersion model of the FLEXPART family, written entirely in the Julia language. Because Julia is a compiled language with just-in-time compilation, no compilation step is exposed to the user, and the same source code runs unmodified under Linux, macOS and Windows, and a run is defined by a single configuration file or by a web-based graphical user interface. EASLEE ingests meteorological fields from ERA5, NCEP GFS, MERRA-2, AROME, Meso-NH and WRF through a common level-index vertical transport formulation, and includes boundary layer turbulence (Hanna and Thomson well-mixed Langevin schemes), a mass-flux convection scheme that is well mixed by construction, an isentropic&amp;ndash;kinematic hybrid vertical transport option for the stratosphere, dry and wet deposition, gravitational settling, radioactive decay, size-resolved aerosols with hygroscopic growth and aerosol optical depth diagnostics, biomass-burning plume rise, and mineral-dust and sea-spray emission. Forward and backward (source&amp;ndash;receptor) transport are supported. The gridded output uses an adaptive kernel in which each parcel deposits its mass over a support set by the local inter-parcel spacing, so that the spatial resolution of the model is determined by the number of trajectories rather than by the output grid. A companion resolution field reports this true local resolution at every grid cell. The model is evaluated against the ETEX-1 and CAPTEX-83 tracer experiments, for which EASLEE obtains composite ranks of 2.76 and 2.43, respectively, comparable to FLEXPART and other established LPDMs. In terms of computation efficiency, the one-million-parcel, two-day ETEX-1 reference run completes in 12 min on 16 threads of a workstation, and in 5 min on its GPU. The source code, configuration examples and a step-by-step description of the installation are provided to the reader.</p>
