Proceedings: Advisory Workshop to Identify Research Needs on the Formation of Acid Precipitation. Workshop Report

摘要

Results of an advisory workshop sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute to identify research needs on the formation of acid precipitation are presented. The state of knowledge on instrumentation and sampling, atmospheric chemistry, cloud processes, meteorological transport, and mathematical modeling related to acid precipitation is described. Thirty-eight research projects spanning five areas - instrumentation, field studies, modeling, laboratory studies, and data analysis and interpretation - are described, along with a background discussion of rationale and resources required. The total program described encompasses 210 professional man-years of effort and an estimated cost of $20 million. (ERA citation 04:053596)
