Preliminary Regional Air Quality Simulations for the Rocky Mountain Atmospheric Nitrogen and Sulfur Study (ROMANS)

摘要

Increased deposition to fragile ecosystems is anticipated as the population along Colorado’s Front Range continues to grow. In particular, there is concern with regard to nitrogen deposition at high elevation ecosystems. The Rocky Mountain Atmospheric Nitrogen and Sulfur Study (ROMANS) is currently underway, and is designed to investigate the pollutant sources that are contributing to nitrogen deposition at Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) (National Park Service, 2006).
