The Earth Sciences Department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center - National Center for Supercomputing has performed a dust reanalysis for the period 1979-2010 using the model NMMB/BSC-Dust model with an horizontal resolution of 0.5 degrees longitude x 0.5 degrees latitude and 40 vertical layers. Initial and boundary conditions are from the NCEP Reanalysis-II and soil moisture from GLDAS.
