Total Deposition at Clingmans Dome, TN in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park

摘要

1. Monitored cloud water and its chemical constituents. 2. High-elevation sites (typically higher than 800 meters). 3. Ecosystems at these elevations subject to substantial levels of acid deposition from clouds that originate in polluted areas. 4. Depositions enhanced by frequent cloud immersion, orographically increased precipitation, high wind speeds, and the large leaf areas typical of mountain tree species. 5. Collected at Clingmans Dome, TN (CLD303) in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park from 1994 through 2011.
