The dust emissions of CAMS Near Real Time forecast and analysis have too high values. This is a know issue of [Cycle 46r1](https://www.ecmwf.int/en/publications/ifs-documentation) and an unfortunate result of the new dust emissions scheme, which just happened to be implemented in the same cycle as the vertical resolution change.

A further revision of the dust scheme in 47r1 (current e-suite) is expected to improve this significantly.
