| Abstract | Experimental work at the 1982 Dry Deposition Intercomparison Experiment (DDIEx) involved the use of optical particle counters for covariance estimates of dry deposition velocities of accumulation mode aerosols. Meteorological and particle flux observations are presented. Deposition velocity estimates exhibit scatter about zero. A formulation of the standard error of the deposition velocity estimator is derived and examined. Using this formulation, the observed deposition velocities are shown to be marginally significant. Using a case study, the correlation coefficient is examined and presented as an important statistic to the work. Humidity effects on the measurements are briefly examined. Recommendations are made for improvements in the instrumentation. |
