Deposition of ozone and Nitrogendioxide to European forests

Objective



This project is additional to a project in which dry deposition processes of ozone and nitrogen dioxide are studied in three West-European countries. The project included comprehensive experimental studies in different forest ecosystems as well as detailed studies using computer simulation models. One of the goals of the experimental studies is to compare and evaluate methods to measure dry deposition. This is necessary in order to obtain comparable information on the role of ozone and nitrogendioxide in European pollution climates. The purpose of the additional proposal is to increase the understanding of dry deposition processes in forest by detailed experimental studies in East-European ecosystems. Measurements will be performed in the original proposal such as Alpine forests and mixed forest. At the same time information will be obtained on pollution climates with respect to ozone and nitrogenoxides these areas. Detailed model studies will be also be carried out in the framework of the additional proposal. The distribution of tasks in the additional proposal are as follows: 1) TNO (Delft, Netherlands) : project coordination.
2) HMI (Budapest, Hungary) : Measurements of dry deposition fluxes over pine forest, experimental and model studies on the effect of reactions between hydrocarbons and ozone on dry deposition.
3) DCUL (Ljubljana, Slovenia) : Measurements of dry deposition fluxes over coniferous forest at higher elevations, measurements of the distribution of nitrogen compounds at different elevation levels. Comparison of experimental results with calculations with the Big-Leaf model.
4) DEEFT (zvolen, Slovakia) : Measurements of the dry deposition fluxes of ozone using the eddy correlation method in mixed forest.
Workshops will be organized during wich the applied methods will be discussed and evaluated. Based on the discussions early in the project the experimental work in the additional proposal has started the coordinator will visit the participating institutes. In addition to that participants will visit to take part in a field experiment in Denmark.
