Abstract

Aerosol characteristics and aerodynamic conditions above and inside forests are strongly dynamic, especially for landscapes subject to frequent frontal activity and episodic anthropogenic aerosol inflows. Using empirical data of 1-hr time- resolution a non-stationary partial differential equation model (based on K-theory and classical filtration theory for concentration and deposition variations in a forest) is shown reasonably capable of handling such temporal complexity, which is also shown to be reflected in a temporally complex deposition pattern.
