Experimental work at the 1982 Dry Deposition Intercomparison
Experiment (DDIEx) involved the use of optical particle counters for
covariance estimates of dry deposition velocities of accumulation mode
aerosols. Meteorological and particle flux observations are
presented. Deposition velocity estimates exhibit scatter about zero.
A formulation of the standard error of the deposition velocity
estimator is derived and examined. Using this formulation, the
observed deposition velocities are shown to be marginally significant.
Using a case study, the correlation coefficient is examined and
presented as an important statistic to the work. Humidity effects on
the measurements are briefly examined. Recommendations are made for
improvements in the instrumentation. / Graduation date: 1985
