    Abstract

    The continuous measurements of aerosol particle deposition velocity have been performed from January 2004 to January 2005 using a REA technique with dynamic deadband.We measured aerosol particle deposition velocity in the size range of 10–150 nanometer with 5–10 nanometer steps using differential mobility analyser for sizing. We were able to measure two size classes simultaneously. One size class was changed at one month intervals, another we kept constant at 30 nm to investigate the effect of seasonal and meteorological variation on deposition velocity. We found that the 80–100 nanometer size particles had the lowest deposition velocity, about 0.4 cm s-1. Deposition velocity increased with decreasing or increasing particle diameter from 80–100 nanometer size. We also found that deposition velocity increases as a function of friction velocity.
