Quantifying the impact of sub-grid surface wind variability on sea salt and dust emissions in CAM5

This paper evaluates the impact of sub-grid variability of surface wind on sea salt and dust emissions in the Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM5). The basic strategy is to calculate emission fluxes multiple times, using different wind speed samples of a Weibull probability distribution deriv...
