The dust emission parameterization in the Chinese Academy of Sciences Earth System Model version 2 (CAS-ESM2) is described with emphasis on the implementation process and simulations of global dust cycle and East Asia dust event statistics. The parameterization is based on the scheme of Shao (2004; http://doi.org/10.1029/2003JD004372) which considers two major dust emission mechanisms, namely, saltation bombardment and aggregation disintegration. Shao (2004; http://doi.org/10.1029/2003JD004372) scheme was well tested against field observations and has been widely used in regional dust modeling. Here this scheme is implemented into a global climate model for the first time and thus provides an independent solution for simulating global dust emissions. With this scheme, CAS-ESM2 reasonably simulates the main dust emission regions in the Earth and reproduces the observations of dust deposition flux and surface dust concentrations at most stations. Compared to the synoptic records of dust events, the model also captures the general patterns and seasonal variations of dust activities in East Asia. However, the model underestimates the frequency of strong dust events (instantaneous surface dust concentrations >1,000 μg m−3) due to the weaker surface winds simulated by the model. The model tends to simulate much weaker and longer-lasting dust events in Eastern Sources (35–49°N, 94–126.5°E) of northern China, suggesting the weaker and slower-moving synoptic weather systems associated with dust events in the model. Overall CAS-ESM2 performs well in simulating the key aspects of global dust distribution and East Asian dust events, yet some biases remain to be improved.
