National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program. Annual report, 1983
The goal of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program is to develop and progressively improve on an objective and comprehensive information base for use by js. This statutory Annual Report to the President and Congress outlines the specific accomplishments of the National Program during the last year (FY 1983), summarizes the current state of scientific knowledge for decisionmakers, and describes the outlook for continued progress by the federally sponsored research effort on acid deposition. In 1983, the second full year of research under the National Program, NAPAP activities entered a new phase. During 1981 and 1982 emphasis was on planning and organizing the comprehensive program. Now work is well underway and the emphasis is shifting toward producing results and working with the users of the information. Major peer reviews of all the work - over 250 projects - have been completed. National meetings and workshops have brought the producers and users of acid deposition information together. Great strides have been made in building and focusing the comprehensive program on the key scientific questions most relevant to decisionmakers' needs. A continuing dialog has been established to provide feedback between decisionmakers and scientists so that the work remains relevant and the strengths as well as limitations of the planned research are better understood.
