TDEP - 4km - Yearly

TDEP - 4km - Yearly

Description

The Total Deposition Science Committee (TDep) provides estimates of total nitrogen and sulfur deposition fluxes across the United States for use in critical loads and other ecological assessments, particularly where loading results in the acidification and eutrophication of ecosystems. Total deposition flux estimates are derived from summing contributions from wet and dry deposition.
