WRF-Chem simulations with and without the SMAP soil moisture retrievals and different levels of dust emissions
d010062
Abstract:
Hourly WRF-Chem simulations at 9 km grid spacing over the contiguous U.S. (CONUS) of several variables including the aerosol optical depth and the soil moisture using GOCART and GOCART-AFWA dust emission parameterizations. The simulations with GOCART-AFWA have different levels of dust emissions (five). There are two simulations for each case with and without SMAP soil moisture retrievals. There is also a simulation with no dust but including SMAP soil moisture. All the simulations are continuous runs of the WRF-Chem model. The simulations span the one year period from 1 April 2015 to March 31 2016.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
