Various surface analysis methods have been applied to the quantification of dry and total atmospheric deposition in recent years. Several of these methods have proved very useful in studies over large spatial and temporal scales, where application of atmospheric methods are limited. The methodology, assumptions, and applications of some of these methods are reviewed here, and examples provided of recent results. Some of these methods can provide the field data necessary for (1) testing of regional deposition models, (2) development of process-level models of in-canopy dry deposition, and (3) comparison with results of applications of micrometeorological methods to deposition in complex terrain. These methods involve some assumptions which have not been rigorously tested and require further evaluation.
