Importance of the Numerical Representation of Shallow and Deep Convection for Simulations of Dust Transport over a Desert Region

Figure 8

Time-height section of dust concentration (contoured) and vertical flux of dust (shaded, in μg m−2 s−1) averaged over each height for (a) EXP1 and (b) EXP2. The contour intervals are (a) at 0.001, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 μg m−3 and (b) at 0.001, 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 mg m−3. In (b) the cloud boundary is indicated by broken lines as a contour of cloud mixing ratio of 0.025 g kg−1.
