OSTI ID:5820718
Surface water sulfate concentrations for each of the seven New York and New England states are calculated based on sulfur deposition estimated using (1) the Lagrangian model ASTRAP, and (2) by doubling wet sulfate deposition, divided by estimated surface water runoff, ignoring all other sources and sinks of sulfur. These estimators are then compared to average sulfate concentrations observed in the waters of the seven states. Deviations of predictions range from -26% to +115% of observed average state-wide concentrations for the seven states, but the regional means differ by 38% and 7%, respectively, of the observed mean. Regression of the predictions (from the ASTRAP wet plus dry sulfur deposition) on observed values has an R/sup 2/ of 0.73 and p < 0.02. 19 refs., 1 tab.
