Overview of the PRECP (PRocessing of Emissions by Clouds and Precipitation) Program

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5178122

The PRocessing of Emissions by Clouds and Precipitation (PRECP) Program addresses the scientific understanding and quantitative description of the physical and chemical storm processes that lead to deposition of pollutants to the earth's surface. These processes are primary determinants of source-receptor transport distances and of the chemical forms, concentrations, and wet-deposition loadings of pollutants at receptor sites. The importance of each of these features to NAPAP, both for policy analysis and for input to scientific studies of receptor response, are largely self-evident. A brief description of the program is presented.
