1 WRAP Workshop on Fire, Carbon and Dust – Sacramento, CA - May 23-24, 2006 WRAP RMC Phase II Wind Blown Dust Project Regional Modeling Center ENVIRON; UCR CE-CERT; UNC-CEP WRAP Workshop on Fire, Carbon and Dust Sacramento, CA May 23 – 24, 2006

2 WRAP Workshop on Fire, Carbon and Dust – Sacramento, CA - May 23-24, 2006 WRAP Fugitive Windblown Dust (WBD) Emissions Model PM dust emissions from wind erosion Relies on land use and soil characteristics in order to estimate threshold surface friction velocities and emission rates Special treatment for agricultural lands Current version of model uses updated landuse/landcover (2000 NLAC) Revised PM 10 /PM 2.5 ratios Updated Transport Fractions (TFs)

3 WRAP Workshop on Fire, Carbon and Dust – Sacramento, CA - May 23-24, 2006 Data Sources Landuse/Landcover –2000 North American Land Cover Database (2000 NALC) Soil Texture –STATSGO soils database (from Penn State) Meteorology –Penn State/NCAR MM5 model simulations –Annual 2002 36-km WRAP modeling domain Fugitive dust transport fractions from EPA (Pace, 2005) –Developed at grid-cell level based on 2000 NALC
