World Meteorological OrganizationWorking together in weather, climate and water
ACTIVITIES OF THE BELGRADE DREAM MODELLING GROUP IN THE PERIOD 2012-2014

South East European Climate Change Center (SEEVCCC),
Republic Hydrometeorological Service Belgrade,, Serbia
SDS-WAS RSG Meeting, Castellaneta Marina, Italy, 6 June, 2014
Highlights
• Assimilation
• Mineralogy
• Dust-cloud interaction
• High-resolution modelling
Assimilation
For a selected dust intrusion into Europe assemble EARLINET lidar profiles from Munich, Aberystwyth, Barcelona, Leipzig, Neuchatel
• objective analyses of lidar dat with a successive correction method.
• mixing lidar profiles and predicted concentration;
• Bscat coefficients mass concentration Ansmann et al. (2003)
Early attempts (2002) at assimilation of EARLINET data in DREAM
DIFFERENCE: (ASSIM-NOASSIM)
2 km concentration (g/m^3)
• DREAM8– 8 particle size version– Operational assimilation from February 2010 at
SEE-VCCC (Belgrade)– ECMWF daily MODIS aerosol assimilation used as
a background field
Assimilation of dust aerosol in the SEEVCCC-DREAM8 model (2010)
DUST OPERATIONAL FORECAST SYSTEM WITH ASSIMILATION OF SATELLITE AEROSOL OPTICAL DATA Nickovic et al, 2012
Assimilation: plans of the Belgrade DREAM group
In collaboration with ACTRIS/EARLINET (Potenza IMAA-CNR; NOA/Athens group; Bucharest, …)
• to perform experiments with ingested lidar observations
• to combine lidars with assimilated Satellite AOD
Dust mineralogy dataset

Why mineralogy of dust is important?
• Fe and P embedded in dust ocean nutrients
• Cloud ice nucleation (IN) sensitive to dust mineral composition; Breaking news: Atkinson et al 2013, Nature: Feldspar by far most efficient IN
• Radiation absorption/reflection depends on dust colour
• Fe as an enhancement factor in meningitis outbreaks (Thompson, 2008) and in bacterial infections, in general
DREAM-Fe model:
• Use of the new 1 km global mineralogy database in a dust-Fe regional model
• A new dust-Fe regional model based on DREAM model
• Parameterization of Fe solubility as a function of dust mineralogy
• Simulations for several Atlantic cruises
GMINER30 database
• Mineralogy database - a precondition for studying Fe atmospheric transport
• 1 km global• 9 minerals in arid soils• Data used:
– FAO soil types (4km)– USGS land cover (1km)– STATSGO textures (1km)– Claquin et al (1999) table (minerals vs. soil types)
Nickovic et al., (2012), ACP GMINER30 available at http://www.seevccc.rs/GMINER30/
Geographic distribution of: a) Quartz, b) Illite, c) Kaolinite, d) Smectite, e) Feldspar, f) Calcite, g) Hematite, h) Gypsum and i) Phosphorus
Iron in dust – transport and deposition to ocean
• Most Fe modelling studies assume 3.5% Fe in sources
• 1-km Fe fraction (%) - a missing puzzle in dust-Fe models is now available; Fe – spatially distributed
ATMOSPHERIC IRON PROCESSING AND OCEAN PRODUCTIVITY
Iron forms in aerosol
• structural iron embedded in the crystal lattice of alumino-silicates referred as ‘‘free-iron’’;
• oxide/hydroxide iron referred as ‘‘iron oxides”.
(Lafon et al., 2004)
Journet et al. (2008) showed that mineralogy is a critical factor for iron solubilization.
Tracers in DREAM-Fe
• Emission, advection, vertical mixing, wet/dry deposition
• Tracer concentration equations– dust (C)– total Fe (T)– free Fe (F)– soluble (S)

Dust and cold cloud generation
Ice nucleation (IN) and role of dust/mineralogy
• More than 60% of clouds start as cold clouds
• A key climate and weather factor
• Aerosol impact on clouds one of least known processes (IPCC)
• Lidars, cloud radars – important source of information for aerosol and clouds
• Initial work in collaboration with
– IMAA-CNR Potenza
– ETH
– AEMET (Izana Observatory)
Heterogeneous cloud freezing
IN parameterizations in DREAM
• IN - a function of dust C, T and moisture
• Parameterizations tested:– Niemand et al (2012)– DeMott (2010)
Physical and mineralogical features of Saharan dust over Eastern Atlantic: Experiment simulated by DREAM dust
model
• model-simulated physical and chemical features of Saharan dust transported towards Canary Islands,
• DREAM extended with a new prognostic parameters as tracers –: Illite and kaolinite; feldspar; calcite; # ice nuclei (IN)
• IN calculated using DeMott et al (2012) empirical parameterizations.
• DREAM model - horizontal resolution 25km. • support of the CALIMA (Cloud Affecting particles In mineral dust
from the Sahara) 2013 field campaign conducted by ETH Zürich,
Switzerland and Izaña Atmospheric Research Centre, AEMET, Spain.

Preliminary work on comparing model vs Potenza obs (lidar, cloud radar)
• Raman lidar– Advantage: detecting both clouds and dust– Disadvantage: short periods of obs time
• Ka-band cloud radar (MIRA-35)– Advantage: continous obs of cloud structure – Disadvantage: no dust detected

High-resolution modelling
Challenges:convective storms with strong vertical movements
potential dust sources in the SW US are mainly local,
dust sources in the SW US can be seasonal, from cropland and other areasthat don’t have vegetation due to agricultural practice or drought conditions
High resolution numerical simulation of the dust event
Numerical simulation set up:
•coupled atmospheric-dust regional model NMME-DREAMNMME – Non-hydrostatic Mesoscale Model on the E-grid (NOAA/NCEP)DREAM – Dust REgional Atmospheric Model
•horizontal resolution: 3.7 km
•start: July 5th, 2011 at 00 UTC ; forecast for 48 hours ; hourly outputs
•mask of potential dust sources created using MODIS satellite data
