README 20 Mar 2017 Message from Sajeev Philip: =============================================================================== We have developed and tested a new emission inventory (Anthropogenic PM2.5 dust) into GEOS-Chem (here are the details: http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa65a4). We would like to include this new development into the std. GEOS-Chem version. All the relevant files and info are posted here: http://rain.ucis.dal.ca/sajeev/Anthrop_Dust_GEOS-Chem/. Anthropogenic PM2.5 dust source in GEOS-Chem Summary: We have added a new PM2.5 dust emission inventory (in addition to the default mineral dust simulation) into GEOS-Chem, termed as Anthropogenic Fugitive, Combustion and Industrial Dust (AFCID). Inclusion of AFCID improved the comparison of simulated dust and total PM2.5 mass in comparison with in situ observations (Philip et al., ERL, 2017). Users have the option to turn on/off this new inventory within the module: GeosCore/HEMCO/Extensions/hcox_dustdead_mod.F
