Short summary

This study suggests a new hybrid Lagrangian–Eulerian modeling tool (the Screening Trajectory Ozone Prediction System, STOPS) for an accurate/fast prediction of Asian dust events. The STOPS is a moving nest (Lagrangian approach) between the source and the receptor inside Eulerian model. We run STOPS, instead of running a time-consuming Eulerian model, using constrained PM concentration from remote sensing aerosol optical depth, reflecting real-time dust particles. STOPS is for unexpected events.
