Provenance & quality
For each 5 km grid square across the domain, pollutant compounds for SOx, NOy and NHx deposition were calculated for all footprints. In addition the output deposition data was split into more detailed chemical species to provide an approximation of how much of each 'source attribution type (e.g. livestock, fertiliser, shipping, etc.) is a short or long range input.
Deposition data was output to three different ecosystem types: forest, moorland (representing short semi-natural vegetation) and a grid average (an average of arable, grassland, urban, forest and moorland). The resulting datasets were calibrated to CBED - Concentration Based Estimated Deposition for the three-year period 2011-2013.
The full methodology is available in the contextual metadata which can be found attached to this record.
