dust_regions input file contains too few regions
Posted by David Neubauer 01/26/2022 https://redmine.hammoz.ethz.ch/issues/817
In ECHAM-HAM seven main regions for regional dust emission tuning were defined via an input file (dust_regions.nc). The seven regions are:
North America
South America
North Africa
South Africa
Middle East
Asia
Australia
In addition another regional dust emission tuning parameter was used for all the other locations than the above regions. In the current dust_regions.nc input file for ICON-HAM only the Australia region is defined. This means that only two regional dust emission tuning parameters (nduscale_reg) can be used currently: the one for Australia and the one for the rest of the globe. The dust_regions.nc input file needs to be modified to contain all main dust emission regions for regional dust emission tuning.
