Abstract

The importance of an adequate parameterization of the deposition processes for sim- ulation of three dimensional pollution fields in a mesoscale context is out of any doubt. An accurate parameterization of the deposition flux is essential for having a precise de- termination of the flux removal and also for allowing longer simulation periods of the atmospheric processes. In addition, an accurate deposition patterns will allow a much more precise diagnostic of the impact of different pollutants on the different types of ter- rain actually present in complex environments such as the urban ones and their environs. Health and toxic effects are critically dependent on accurate evalu
