Description
Nine WRF-Chem 3.8.0 hindcasts, each utilizing a different dust emission configuration, from 1 March – 31 May 2015, coinciding with a Saharan air layer (SAL) dust outbreak during the 2015 Caribbean drought. WRF-Chem modeled aerosol optical depth (AOD) and Gálvez-Davison Index (GDI), a convective forecasting parameter, are provided in the files. These data correspond to the results published in "Modeled Atmospheric Optical and Thermodynamic Responses to an Exceptional Trans-Atlantic Dust Outbreak" by Paul Miller, Marcus Williams, and Thomas Mote, published the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres.
