Tichler, J L

The PRECP program is a multilaboratory research effort conducted by the US Department of Energy as a part of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP). The primary objective of PRECP is to provide essential information for the quantitative description of chemical wet deposition as a function of air pollution loadings, geograpic location, and atmospheric processing. The program is broken into four closely interrelated sectors: Diagnostic Modeling; Field Measurements; Laboratory Measurements; and Climatological Evaluation. Data management tasks are: compile databases of the data collected in field studies; verify the contents of data sets; make data available to program participants either on-line or by means of computer tapes; perform requested analyses, graphical displays, and data aggregations; provide an index of what data is available; and provide documentation for field programs both as part of the computer database and as data reports.
