Description

The Earth’s surface is both an important source and sink for atmospheric trace compounds (gases and aerosols). This chapter provides a detailed overview of methods to determine immission, dry deposition fluxes, and deposition velocities of trace substances to the biosphere. In particular, relevant measurement techniques are described, and their requirements and limitations for determining accurate fluxes are analyzed. Furthermore, several quality control procedures are outlined. Typical applications are explained in detail, taking into account current and future challenges and developments.
