Application of Four Schemes for Sand and Dust Emissions in China

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

A serial of numerical experiments were conducted with four representative sand and dust emission schemes using an integrated numerical simulation and forecast system of dust storms. The comparison between the simulation results and the observation data shows that the vertical dust flux and the dust concentration of the scheme developed by Marticorena and Bergametti is the biggest, while those of the scheme developed by Lu and Shao is the smallest. The simulation effect of the dust emission scheme developed by Shao is similar to the observation, so the dust model system of Shao is preferably used to predict the dust events in China.
