PRECP: PRocessing of Emissions by Clouds and Precipitation. The Department of Energy's Program on the Nonlinearity of Acid Precipitation Processes. Summary of FY 1984-1985 Operational Plan

摘要

This report presents a summary of the FY 1984-1985 Operational Plan for the US Department of Energy's Program on the PRocessing of Emissions by Clouds and Precipitation (PRECP). Activities scheduled through 1985 are spelled out in some detail; the FY 1986 activities are sketched in somewhat less detail; and the plans for beyond FY 1986 are outlined in rather general terms. The full Operational Plan will be the third report in this series; the first report was the Preliminary Program Plan, which bore the title Nonlinearity of Acid Precipitation Processes (Michael, 1983). The objective and strategy of this project can be stated as follows: to determine how the wet deposition of acidic and other pollutants depends upon inputs to individual storms, by understanding the chemical and physical PRocessing of Emissions by Clouds and Precipitation (PRECP), through analysis of appropriate data, model development and testing, and laboratory and field studies, and for applications in the definition of the relationships between pollutant releases and subsequent deposition. 2 references, 4 figures, 5 tables.
