18 Page 18© Crown copyright 2004 Modelling – NWP & climate models in the Met Office  Met Office global NWP and CAM models have been trialling inclusion of mineral dust. Climate model simulations need improvement via validation. NWP models a) Initial calculations have been performed using fixed climatologies and show a relatively large effect on AEJ. b) Further calculations are planned using interactive dust model (under development). The data from SOP-0 will be used for improving the physical and radiative properties of mineral dust and biomass burning particles and for validation of the production/transport/ deposition of aerosols. Climate models a) Biomass burning and mineral dust modules are included, but they are poorly constrained and do not interact with each other. The model can be driven by meteorological data. Data will be used for both improving the aerosol parameterisations in the climate model.

19 Page 19© Crown copyright 2004 Training Wherever possible African meteorologists/ scientists will be encouraged to fully participate in:- a)Flight planning b)Flight decision making c)Flight debriefs New CAO regulations make it difficult to carry ‘unauthorised’ scientists on the BAe146 which is the only practical aircraft for flying guest scientists.

22 Page 22© Crown copyright 2004 Solar effects are only part of the story - the terrestrial radiative effect is also significant. Measurements using ARIES (cm -1 resolution interferometer) clearly show the effect of Saharan dust in the 8-12  m atmospheric window.

23 ESSC, Reading University, 13 May, 2004 Cloud screened data The Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget instrument (GERB) shows significantly less OLR over regions of the desert during July 2003. What is the explanation? Data from 12Z, July 2003

24 ESSC, Reading University, 13 May, 2004 If we account for the effect of the aerosol on the SW at the surface which reduces the surface temperature and hence reduces the OLR as well, we end up with this. Which is in good agreement with the dOLR between GERB and the UM.
