Oslo CTM3 Mineral Dust (DUST)

Oslo CTM3 uses the DEAD model (Zender et al., 2003) to calculate mineral dust. (Grini et al., 2005). It is a stand-alone application which can be run alone with two or more dust tracers (specified by the user).

Previously another dust scheme has been used (Myhre et al., 2003), but it is no longer available.
