Our project is funded by NSF (ATM
1102309, 2011-2014, 1517365 2014-2016).
We propose to address these three key aspects of particle deposition onto forested surfaces using a combined experimental and modeling approach at
multiple hierarchical scales (leaf-to-canopy) by exploring:
1. The relative importance of, and correct descriptions of, the foliage collection mechanisms at the leaf scale.
2. Deposition flux partitioning between foliar and non-foliar elements.
3. Up-scaling results from issues [1] and [2] to the entire ecosystem.

Our project is funded by NSF (ATM
0334321, December 2003 - November
2007) and has the following objective:
To develop and test process-level models of particle dry deposition to a range
of surface types with the emphasis on complex canopies.

Experimental setup
Here is an example of the size-resolved
particle gradient through the canopy
Here is a tar file containing 3 Matlab *.mat files; 1) containing our fluxes from the sonics deployed at 46m, 20m and 7m, 2) containing fluxes of CO2 and H2O from our LiCOR 7200 at 46m, 3) containing fluxes from our CPC at 7m and 46m.
Here is a short video about the
experimental chamber
