Simulation of the mineral dust content over Western Africa from the event to the annual scale with the CHIMERE-DUST model
The chemistry and transport model CHIMERE-DUST have been used to simulate the mineral dust cycle over the Sahara in 2006. Surface measurements deployed during the AMMA field campaign allow to test the capability of the model to correctly reproduce the atmospheric dust load and surface concentrations...
