Cover Story: Mineral dust emissions in atmospheric models are usually based on static erodibility maps. In this study, we present the development of a physically based dust source map for driving GOCART-AFWA dust emissions in a WRF-Chem model. The new parameterization is constrained by MODIS-NDVI observations, and the erodibility map is updated every 15 days. The new methodology is applied over a large area covering Africa, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Europe during a highly active dust period (March to May 2017). The new module describes the dust sources at finer detail, also including their evolution in time. Comparison with AERONET AOD measurements indicates an overall improvement in model performance, especially for stronger dust episodes. View this paper
