Abstract:

This data package contains chemistry data from dryfall (dust) atmospheric deposition collected at the Jornada Basin LTER weather station north of Las Cruces, NM in Dona Ana County, New Mexico, USA. Atmospheric deposition as found in dryfall (dust) and wetfall precipitation has been at this location since 1983 using an Aerochem Metrics wetfall/dryfall collector. Dryfall occurring as atmospheric fallout is collected monthly. Each sample is analyzed for Br, Ca, Cl, F, HPO4, K, Mg, Na, NH4, NO3/NO2, SO4, Total N, and Total P. Analysis of Sr and Dissolved Organic Nitrogen was discontinued in 2003. Wetfall precipitation chemistry is available in data package knb-lter-jrn.210128002.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

This data package contains chemistry data from dryfall (dust) atmospheric deposition collected at the Jornada Basin LTER weather station north of Las Cruces, NM in Dona Ana County, New Mexico, USA. Atmospheric deposition as found in dryfall (dust) and wetfall precipitation has been collected and analyzed at this location since 1983 using an Aerochem Metrics wetfall/dryfall collector. Dryfall occurring as atmospheric fallout is collected monthly. Each sample is analyzed for Br, Ca, Cl, F, HPO4, K, Mg, Na, NH4, NO3/NO2, SO4, Total N, and Total P. Analysis of Sr and Dissolved Organic Nitrogen was discontinued in 2003. Wetfall precipitation chemistry is available in data package knb-lter-jrn.210128002.

Atmospheric deposition as found in dryfall (dust) and wetfall precipitation has been collected and analyzed at the Jornada Basin LTER weather station location since 1983. Sample are collected with an Aerochem Metrics WET/DRY Precipitation collector. The holds both a WET and a DRY precipitation collector bucket (11" top diameter). The dryfall precipitation is collected monthly as close to the first of the month as possible.

Cleaning protocol

All materials that come in contact with sample are cleaned as follows:

1. Rinse thoroughly with tap water.

2. Wash with dilute solution of Alconox detergent.

3. Rinse minimum 3 times thoroughly with deionized water

4. Rinse minimum 3 times thoroughly with solution of 1N HCl.

5. Rinse minimum 5 times thoroughly with deionized water.

6. Do not touch any surfaces that will be in contact with sample.

7. Place materials in drain to dry in such a position that surfaces to be in contact with sample will not be contaminated by drain or by particulate fallout. Do not leave collector buckets overnight.

8. Filter apparatus, bottles, etc. used to process sample are to be rinsed 3 times with deionized water immediately prior to using when they are clean. Otherwise, clean as per steps 1-7 above immediately before using.

The following is to be done for DRYFALL sample only:

Each bottle is labeled with type of analysis to be performed, type of precipitation (wet or dry), and collection date. Samples are kept refrigerated until they are sent for laboratory analysis.

Samples collected since 2003 are analyzed at the New Mexico State University EARL laboratory with a Latchat autoanlayzer. Those collected prior to 2003 were analyzed at Dr. W.H. Schlesinger's laboratory at Duke University.

Analysis

In each sample, F, Cl, NO3, SO4, NH4, Ca, Mg, Na, K, total N, and total P are determined by standard laboratory procedures:

Values were reported for NO3-N and NH4-N prior to October 1987. These values have been corrected in the data set so they now report NO3 and NH4. The conversion is:

NO3-N x 62/14 = NO3

NH4-N x 18/14 = NH4
