This module evaluates the change of mass mixing ratio for mineral dust particles due to their emission from preferential sources, and the removal by gravitational settling. The dust particles are transported as dry particles. No hygroscopic growth is considered. The size distribution of sea salt ranges from 0.1 to 10 um (dry radius) and is divided into 5 bins. For each bin, the volume size distribution dV/dlnr is considered constant.

atmos_dust_sourcesink:

The routine that calculate the sources and sinks of dust.

atmos_dust_init:

The constructor routine for the dust module.

atmos_dust_end:

The destructor routine for the dust module.

dust_source_input:

This subroutine read the fraction of dust source at each grid cell based on Ginoux et al. (JGR, 2001). This source function is considered invariant in time (no change in topography and vegetation).
