The occurrence of acid rain has prompted extensive research and monitoring activities which began in the U.S. during the late 1970`s. In the mid 1970`s the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) funded an extensive environmental monitoring program which included a substantial acid rain monitoring component. Results from that study and subsequent activities have been summarized in previous reports. One site from the original network has remained in continuous operation to the present time. That site is located on the campus of the University of Central Florida (UCF) near Orlando. The site provides the longest continuous record of rainwater composition data of any site ever operated in the state of Florida. In addition several sites that operate as part of the National Atmospheric Deposition (NADP) network continue in operation. Observations from the UCF site and the NADP sites document substantial changes in rainwater composition and acid deposition.
