We have coupled a nonhydrostatic mesoscale model with a simple but comprehensive mineral aerosol source scheme, along with a spectral sedimentation scheme. We present a simulation of a Saharan dust transport event (4 days), including mass uptake estimates, 3D transport and dry deposition. The model is initialized with ECMWF data. Meteosat imagery is used to check the dust cloud uptake and trajectory.
