A dust and deposition module has been added to the CSU Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS). The new scheme utilizes a global map of potential sources and parameterizes emissions based on model wind speed and soil moisture. This study focuses on the testing of the new scheme, with emphasis on its ability to accurately model the spatial extent of dust as well as the column optical thickness and surface visibility.

Recorder playing is one emphasis of this work which also provides instruction on how to write music, form rhythm bands, and create your own tapes, among other concepts about music.

Despite the general applicability of classical Ekman theory, individual observations of wind veering in the planetary boundary layer seldom exhibit the typical spiral turning with height. This study attempts to assess the reasons for these deviations from theory which occur not only as large fluctuations in time but also as significant differences in mean profiles from one location to another.
