    • Precipitation samples
      • dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1994-04-06
      • dataset_eml_methoddescription: Weekly collection of precipation for chemical analysis is performed at two different sites. Precipitation amount, pH and conductivity analysis is performed at the sites. The sample is shipped to the NADP Central Analytical Lab in Illinois for analysis of pH, conductivity, Ca, Mg, K, Na, NH4, NO3, Cl, SO4.

    • Ozone and deposition
      • dataset_eml_methodsStartDate: 1994-01-01
      • dataset_eml_methoddescription: Seasonal continuous ozone (May through September), averaged hourly. Deposition (kg/ha) was calculated for chemicals reporting concentration in mg/l for annual, seasonal and montly time steps.
