Wet and dry deposition are collected separately using wet-dry deposition collectors from AeroChem Metrics. These collectors have two side-by-side polyethylene buckets, one each to collect wet and dry deposition. A rain sensor triggers a splash guard so one bucket is exposed only to dry conditions, and one bucket is exposed only during precipitation-producing storms. The dry sample bucket is collected monthly while the wet sample bucket is typically collected within 24-hours of a precipitation-producing storm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sampling locations spanned a transect from outlying areas to the west and east of the metropolitan area and through the urban core. Monitoring at most sampling locations ran from 1999 through the mid-2000s, when sampling was discontinued at several sites. Sampling continued through spring 2016 at the Lost Dutchman State Park, a desert fertilization experiment site focusing on atmospheric deposition. It continued at a location on Arizona State University\u2019s Tempe campus, which was added to the program in 2009, through 2022 when the program was ended.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4 order-1 order-md-2 mb-6 mb-md-0\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full mt-6\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/caplter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/05\/Atmospheric-Deposition-image1.jpeg\" alt=\"View of storm clouds over desert mountainside covered with saguaros and other desert vegetation.\" class=\"wp-image-117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/caplter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/05\/Atmospheric-Deposition-image1.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/caplter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/05\/Atmospheric-Deposition-image1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/globalfutures.asu.edu\/caplter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2024\/05\/Atmospheric-Deposition-image1-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"uds-section bg-color bg-gray-1 \" ><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-0\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-2\">\n\t\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading anchor-menu-target\" id=\"data\">Datasets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/portal.edirepository.org\/nis\/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-cap&amp;identifier=23\">Long-term monitoring of atmospheric deposition in Central Arizona-Phoenix, ongoing since 1999<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-2\">\n\t\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-row row\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-8\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading anchor-menu-target\" id=\"publications\">Publications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list uds-list\">\n<li>Zhang, C., J.
