Summary of the NAPAP state of science report on deposition monitoring in North America, 1979-1987.

摘要

This report summarizes the results of a much larger document that discusses methods to monitor wet, dry, and droplet deposition in the United States and Canada and provides temporal and spatial analyses. The introduction here gives the scope of the larger document, while the body of this report summarizes the important findings of wet, dry, and droplet deposition of the larger document. The main purpose of the larger document is to identify the locations of maximum deposition of pollutants and to determine if the spatial and temporal patterns have changed substantially during the period 1979 to 1987. A significant portion of the document addresses the representativeness and completeness of large-scale network deposition data at regional and local scales. 23 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.
