Physics of Cloudwater Deposition and Evaporation at Castlelaw, S.E. Scotland

  • Chapter
Acid Deposition at High Elevation Sites

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 252))

Abstract

Measurements of cloud and rain water deposition at a hilltop site in SE Scotland are presented. Evaporation rates of pure water from plant surfaces during a cloud event are given and the influence of such evaporation on acidity enhancement at surfaces is estimated. The possibility of acidity enchancement on cloud water gauges is noted. A method of scaling the rate of cloud water capture measured by a gauge to that occuring on a natural surface is proposed.
