- Vertical dust flux (g) as a fraction of the horizontal transport
- Threshold fixed at 28 cm/s
- Over the U.S. the dust emission algorithm needs ½ deg data
- Define a 3-point domain for emission grid in CONTROL file
- Run the pre-processor to find desert land-use cells
Edit ASCDATA.CFG to point to 0.5 deg data
