[RegCNET] How to calculate the AOD of dust aerosol?

[Zakey Ashraf_Saber]

Dear Su,

   Yes, AOD is the column integration of (ext) variable in CHE* file. IF
you used the dust option in RegCM, then you will get the ext* variable
in CHE* which represent the dust. But, if you used more aerosols +
dust, then ext* will be respresented all of the selected aerosols.


With my best wishes,
Ashraf
