Dust forecasts
Compared dust forecasts
Products from different dust prediction models are represented for a common geographical domain using a common color palette.
Files download
Service to download numerical dust forecasts issued by different dust prediction models.
Forecast Evaluation
Comparison of model forecasts to MODIS products and to AERONET retrievals for selected dust-prone stations.
Multi-model products
Products generated from different dust prediction models. Two products describing centrality (multi-model median and mean) and two products describing spread (standard deviation and range of variation) are shown.
Models
Dust forecasts issued by different numerical models. Dust models may have very different characteristics. Information on the characteristics and configurations of the models can be found on their respective websites.
