Abstract
Dry deposition is the removal of gases and particles from the atmosphere to the earth’s surface by processes other than precipitation. Rates of atmospheric dry deposition are usually characterized by the deposition velocity, v d . Estimates of v d are used in models which predict the fate of atmospheric pollutants. Measurements and predictions of v d can vary among investigators by several orders of magnitude (Sehmel, 1980). This variation occurs because v d is a complex funtion of particle size, shape, and compostion; the calculation or measurement method; meteorology; and deposition surface properties.
