TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for estimating the dry deposition velocities of atmospheric gases in the U.S. and surrounding areas and incorporated it into a revised computer code module for use in numerical models of atmospheric transport and deposition of pollutants over regional scales.

TL;DR: In the Southern Great Plains 1997 Hydrology Experiment, four different types of eddy-covariance systems were set up side-by-side and all of them under-measured sensible and latent heat fluxes by similar amounts.

TL;DR: The role of rapid in-air chemical reactions involving NO, NO2, and O3 is difficult to quantify comprehensively, and the effects of water from rain or dew on uptake of gases can be highly variable as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a parameterization for deposition velocity is derived in terms of friction velocity u* and the Obukhov stability length scale L. When the parameterization is applied in conjunction with nearly continuous measurements of mean micrometeorological variables such as wind speed and temperature difference, the resulting long-term mean deposition velocity found is 0.22±0.06 cm/s with a variation greater than ±50% from day to day, depending on local atmospheric conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, a mesoscale meteorology model was used to predict the deposition velocities of SO2, sulfate and HNO3 over the eastern United States and southeastern Canada.
