Abstract | This document examines the application of the CEMSYS wind erosion and dust transport model as a means of monitoring the impact of wind erosion at national and regional scale. In its current form CEMSYS takes into consideration the atmospheric conditions (wind speed, rainfall etc.) and land surface (soil type, vegetation cover etc.) and estimates wind erosion quantities such as sand flux and dust flux. Other wind erosion related quantities, such as deposition rates, net erosion (sand + dust flux – deposition) threshold friction velocity, and friction velocity are calculated. These quantities can be averaged on an hourly, daily, monthly, or yearly basis. |
