Wet deposition data are being collected by many organizations in the United States and Canada. Each organization has selected field sampling and laboratory analysis protocols based on their objectives and has organized the resulting wet deposition data accordingly. The Acid Deposition System (ADS) for data storage and statistical reporting of wet deposition data has been designed and implemented to provide an integrated, centralized data repository for data collected by wet deposition monitoring networks in the United States and Canada. The purposes of ADS are (1) to facilitate access to deposition data collected by different networks, (2) to provide annual statistical summaries of available data, and (3) to perform analyses of spatial and temporal trends. The ADS data base has been designed and implemented to include the wet deposition data from the NTN, NADP, CANSAP, APN, APIOS, UAPSP, WISCONSIN and MAP3S networks. Other networks, with quality assured and documented data, are being added as they meet ADS data transfer requirements. The integration of networks requires careful definition of network data screening and coding procedures to ensure the compatibility of data for the preparation of common statistical summaries.
