Abstract:

These data are for the publication: Conrad-Rooney, E., J. Gewirtzman, Y. Pappas, V.J. Pasquarella, L.R. Hutyra, and P.H. Templer. 2023. Atmospheric Wet Deposition in Urban and Suburban Sites Across the United States. Atmospheric Environment, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2023.119783

This study investigated long-term trends in atmospheric wet deposition of nitrogen (ammonium and nitrate), sulfate, cations, and chloride for urban and suburban sites in the U.S. using data from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program and assessed whether urban NADP sites are hotspots for atmospheric wet deposition. To examine potential impacts of urbanization on atmospheric wet deposition, percent impervious surface area and population density data were extracted from Google Earth Engine. The results of this study highlight that urban areas have greater rates of many forms of atmospheric deposition and that there should be more long-term monitoring of atmospheric deposition in cities and suburban sites throughout the U.S.

Data Entities
Data Table Name:	Atmospheric Wet Deposition Data
Description:	This data table includes annual atmospheric wet deposition data from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program. Suburban and urban site level data are from 1979 to 2020. The rural data type refers to background rural values extracted from interpolated maps for each urban site location. The urban minus rural data type is calculated as the measured urban values minus the background interpolated rural values for each site. Atmospheric deposition data are in the form of kg/ha/yr.

Data Table Name:	Percent Impervious Surface Area Data
Description:	Percent impervious surface area (% ISA) within a 1 km buffer radius surrounding each urban, suburban, rural, and isolated NADP site was extracted from the 2019 United States Geological Survey National Land Cover Database (NLCD) in Google Earth Engine. Data source: Dewitz, J., and U.S. Geological Survey, 2021, National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2019 Products (ver. 2.0, June 2021): U.S. Geological Survey data release, doi:10.5066/P9KZCM54
Data Table Name:	Population Density and Precipitation Data
Description:	This data table consists of population density data from the 2010 United States Census in Google Earth Engine and 2019 precipitation data from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP). Population density for each urban and suburban NADP site was calculated by summing population values across census block polygons and dividing by total area within a 15 km radius buffer of each NADP site (i.e. the same buffer size used by the NADP to classify sites as urban, suburban, rural, and isolated). Annual precipitation data for 2019 was measured by the National Atmospheric Deposition Program at each urban and suburban site. Data sources: National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NRSP-3). 2022.

Description:

Atmospheric Deposition and Precipitation:

We utilized long-term wet atmospheric deposition data publicly available on the website of the National Atmosheric Deposition Program National Trends Network (https://nadp.slh.wisc.edu/networks/national-trends-network/). Our study includes suburban and urban site level data from 1979 to 2020. We extracted background rural values from the NADP interpolated maps (available from 1985-2018) at each urban site location to conduct an urban versus rural comparison. We also included annual site-level precipitation values for the year 2019 from the NADP.
