Mineral dust emissions

The mineral dust emissions algorithm is described on a separate wiki page.

EC and OC emissions

The following emissions inventories for elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC) are used in GEOS-Chem.

• Bond et al [2007]: EC and OC emissions over North America
• Spracklen et al: Oceanic OC emissions (NOTE: to be included post GEOS-Chem v8-02-05!)
