Hello…I had trouble with the WB Dust online calculation when using BELD4. There were a number of NCLD references that read as missing. I switched back to BELD3 which ran well. Was wondering if this is an issue anyone else has come across. I could be doing something wrong (most likely).
Please see our response in a related thread on windblown dust.
Unfortunately, at the moment the BELD4 file generated by the spatial allocator does not contain all the land use categories expected by the CMAQ dust module when CTM_WBDUST_BELD is set to BELD4. We are investigating this issue and plan to update the code and/or model documentation in the future.
Thank you much! Best.
