Modelling of the Saharan dust event

We have coupled a non hydrostatic mesoscale model with a simple but comprehensive mineral aerosol source scheme. We present a simulation of a Saharan dust transport event (4 days), including mass uptake estimates, spectral 3D transport and dry deposition. The model is initialized with ECMWF data. Me...
