Describe the modeling activities of your group (what meteorological, chemical transport and/or radiative transfer models are you using)
Our group simulates mineral dust using WRF/Chem (v.3.1)
for Asian region. Several dust emission parameterizations (e.g., Marticorena
and Bergametti, 1995; Lu and Shao, 1999; Shao, 2004) were newly implemented
into WRF/Chem and model-default soil texture type and vegetation cover data
were replaced with soil data from LREIS (Laboratory of Resources and
Environment Information System, Chinese Academy of Science) and FAO/UNESCO and
vegetation data derived from MODIS fPAR product, respectively. Dust aerosol is
treated as a tracer and there is no radiative feedback. We have four size bins
for dust: 1.95-2.5, 2.5-5, 5-10, and 10-20 µm.
What emissions inventories are you using.
No emission inventory is needed for dust simulation because the
emission amount of dust aerosol is calculated using meteorological information
such as friction velocity.
