Implementation of GMINER30 database in WRF-Chem

19/01/23 13:05

The GMINER30 (Global Mineral Database on 30sec resolution, Nickovic et al, 2012) that provides mineral fractions of potentially dust productive soils, has been implemented in WRF-Chem model.
First results will be presented in COMECAP 2023 conference.

"The development of a detailed mineralogical database from satellite remote sensing products, towards an improved representation of dust transport in NWP simulations" by Nikolaos S. Bartsotas, Olga Sykioti, Christos Spyrou, Kostas C Douvis, Vassilis Amiridis, Christos Zerefos and Stavros Solomos was submitted to the EGU General Assembly 2023 in AS5.8 – Assimilation of active and passive satellite observations into NWP and hydrological models.

The General Assembly will take place 23–28 April 2023.
See you in Vienna!
