Title: Acid precipitation chemistry in an urban plume

Abstract

In this paper the authors present the results of an ongoing study performed by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PGandE) to: investigate the formation, transport and deposition of acidic species in the urban plume from the San Francisco Bay Area (SFBA) and assess the role of two gas-fired electric generation facilities located on the eastern boundary of the SFBA. They present a brief summary of their study area's climate. The network used in this study and our experimental methods are also described. An analysis of wet deposition data collected by our network is presented along with a discussion of the major findings, to date, of our study.
