    abstract = "The choice of the parameterization scheme, the input parameters and the
spatial resolution are options that can provide significantly different
modelling results for the processes of desert dust production and
transport. This work will discuss the level of coherence between a
regional and a global modelling system with regards to the simulation of
desert dust production and transport in N-Africa. The limited-area model
SKIRON/Dust and the atmospheric chemistry general circulation model EMAC
(ECHAM5/MESSy2 Atmospheric Chemistry) have been applied using a common
physically-based dust emission scheme. The differences between the two
modelling systems and the comparison with the observations will be
analysed and discussed, as well as the plans for future work in their
offline coupling."
