Abstract:

The deposition of atmospheric nitrogen (N) to surface waters of de la Plata River downwind of Buenos Aires city has been estimated using atmospheric dispersion-deposition models. The CALPUFF model has been applied to point source emissions and the DAUMOD-RD model has been developed to evaluate the area source emission contributions. Annual N dry deposition is 31,763 kg-N yr -1 (≈ 18 kg-N km-2 yr-1). Nitrogen dioxide contribution to this value is 54% and nitric acid contribution is 46%. The maximum monthly N dry deposition fluxes vary between 7 kg-N km-2 month-1 (in February) and 13 kg-N km-2 month-1 (in December). Copyright © 2009 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
