The problem of the pressure gradient force error in case terrain-following (sigma) coordinate does not appear to have a solution. is one truncation calculation space derivatives involved. Thus, with temperature profiles resulting large errors, an increase vertical resolution may reduce and even likely error. Therefore, approach abandoning sigma system has been proposed. It involves use "step" mountains surfaces prescribed remain at fixed elevations places where they touch (and define) or...
Inclusion of mineral dust radiative effects could lead to a significant improvement in the radiation balance numerical weather prediction models with subsequent improvements forecast itself. In this study have been fully incorporated into regional atmospheric model. Dust affects fluxes at surface and top atmosphere temperature profiles every model time step when module is processed. These changes influence dynamics, moisture physics, near‐surface conditions. Furthermore, emission modified by...

DREAM currently operates forecasts region (...
Abstract. Dust storms and associated mineral aerosol transport are driven primarily by meso- synoptic-scale atmospheric processes. It is therefore essential that the dust process background conditions drive emissions represented with sufficiently well-resolved spatial temporal features. The effects of airborne interactions environment determine composition particles. fractions various minerals in determined arid soils; therefore, a high-resolution specification physical properties sources...
Abstract. We describe and evaluate the NMMB/BSC-Dust, a new dust aerosol cycle model embedded online within NCEP Non-hydrostatic Multiscale Model (NMMB). NMMB is further evolution of operational Mesoscale (WRF-NMM), which together with other upgrades has been extended from meso to global scales. Its unified non-hydrostatic dynamical core prepared for regional simulation domains. The NMMB/BSC-Dust intended provide short medium-range weather forecasts scales represents first step towards...
The BSC-DREAM8b model and its predecessor are analysed in terms of aerosol optical depth (AOD) for 2004 over Northern Africa, the Mediterranean Middle East. We discuss performance we test analyse behaviour with new components. results evaluated using hourly data from 44 AERONET stations seasonally averaged satellite observations. operational versions strongly underestimate winter AOD Sahel overestimate East achieving a low average annual correlation (~0.35). use more detailed size...
Abstract. Dust particles from high latitudes have a potentially large local, regional, and global significance to climate the environment as short-lived forcers, air pollutants, nutrient sources. Identifying locations of local dust sources their emission, transport, deposition processes is important for understanding multiple impacts high-latitude (HLD) on Earth's systems. Here, we identify, describe, quantify source intensity (SI) values, which show potential soil surfaces emission scaled...

An alternative approach to the design of nonhydrostatic numerical weather prediction (NWP) models is presented. Instead extending mesoscale modeling concepts synoptic scales and beyond, a hydrostatic NWP model using mass-based σ vertical coordinate has been extended include motions, preserving favorable features formulation. In order do so, system equations was split into two parts: (a) part that corresponds system, except for higher-order corrections due acceleration, (b) allows computation...
An intercomparison study involving eight dust emission/transport models over Asia (DMIP) has been completed. Participating utilize a variety of emission schemes, horizontal and vertical resolutions, numerical methods, different meteorological models. Two huge episodes occurred in spring 2002 were used for the DMIP study. Meteorological parameters, flux concentration (diameter < 20 μm) are compared within same domain on basis PM NIES lidar measurements. We found that modeled concentrations...
