Model for Predicting Dry Deposition of Particles and Gases to Environmental Surfaces

摘要

A predictive model is demonstrated for correlating particle and gas removal rates from the atmosphere by dry deposition. Predicted deposition rates can vary over several orders of magnitude and are complex functions of pollutant, air, and surface variables. The validity of many published field deposition measurements is discussed in terms of these complexities. (ERA citation 03:057530)
