The contribution of occult precipitation to sulphur deposition in the Czech Republic

Abstract: We present a spatial estimation of the contribution of occult precipitation to the true atmospheric sulphur deposition across the territory of the Czech Republic. Our estimation is based on differences in two spatially explicit, data driven geo-statistical deposition models for forested areas: 1. a throughfall sulphur deposition model and 2. a sulphur deposition model calculated from dry plus wet-only deposition (often referred to as the “total” deposition). The sulphur deposition maps for Czech forested areas at 1x1 km resolution are presented and the dependence of the contribution of occult precipitation to sulphur deposition on altitude is assessed. All available data on precipitation chemistry at disposal, results of wet-only, bulk and throughfall measurements were compiled. Our preliminary results based on geo-statistical modelling indicate that the contribution of occult precipitation to sulphur deposition is significant, varies in a wide range, and is dependent on altitude. .... https://www.erdkunde.uni-bonn.de/article/view/2685
