Abstract: | During a German-Brazilian research project on vegetation damage, atmospheric scavenging processes were investigated, considering transport and local emissions. For this goal, radar precipitation data was evaluated together with analyses of fractionated rain samples of one stratiform and one convective rain event. The temporal variation of pollutant concentration in rain water and the meteorological conditions were compared for both rain events at two stations: one at the top of the Serra do Mar mountain ridge ( 900 m) with minor influence of local emissions and one at sea level, close to the high indutrialized area of Cubatao. At the station close to the industrial plants, major influence of the local sources on wet deposition was determined. During the stratiform rain event, an additional influence of transport could be observed. On the top of the Serra do Mar, major influence of the local sources could only be observed during the convective rain event, while transport is mainly responsible for wet deposition during the stratiform event. |
