  Synopsis: Ozone exposure risk to forests of the southern European Alps was measured using the AOT40 index. The hourly data of pollutant concentrations were obtained from weekly data measured with passive samplers and interpolated spatially over the whole domain by means of geostatistical techniques and an algorithm relating ozone concentrations to the site altitude and time of day.

  Synopsis: A spatial temporal model of ozone distribution over the Sierra Nevada using robust modern regression techniques was developed using data from a network of passive ozone samplers. The study indicated that characterizing the distribution of ozone exposure using passive monitors and a statistical model with auxiliary variables might be a practical alternative to dense networks of active monitors when seasonal ozone patterns are of interest. Also, it may be helpful in assessing the outputs of system models based on atmospheric chemistry and transport theory.

  Abstract Measurement of ionic deposition in throughfall is a widely used method for measuring deposition inputs to the forest floor. Many studies have been published, providing a large database of throughfall deposition inputs to forests. However, t

  Synopsis: Concentrations of ozone and nitrogenous pollutants were monitored using passive samplers along an elevation gradient in the San Bernardino Mountains, southern California, during the summer 2000. Summer means of ozone ranged between 53 to 59 ppb and did not show a clear pattern of variation with elevation. Nitric acid vapor, nitrogen dioxide and ammonia concentrations were above levels recorded in remote locations and decreased with increasing elevation.

  Synopsis: Ozone and nitric acid vapor were monitored at a high-elevation Mammoth Mountain in the eastern Sierra Nevada, California. Elevated ozone concentrations were measured both with active and passive sampling techniques. Concentrations of nitric acid were low at the background levels expected for that area. No clear effects of elevation change on concentrations of the monitored pollutants were seen.

  Synopsis: Models of ozone distribution in the Carpathian Mountains of central Europe and Sierra Nevada in California for 1997-1999 growing seasons were developed with ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst extension. The models were based on data obtained with passive samplers providing average ozone for 2-week long periods. While reliability of model predictions was limited in the Carpathian Mountains due to inadequate density of monitoring sites, in the Sierra Nevada a much denser network of monitoring sites and additional information on weather parameters allowed for reliable predictions of spatial and temporal ozone distribution.

  Synopsis: A passive sampler with nylon filter as a collecting medium has been developed and described. The sampler is accurate, specific for nitric acid, and is not affected by particulate nitrate. Several types of caps protecting nylon filters from rain and wind have been tested and characterized. Nitric acid passive samplers have been successfully used in several remote locations in California mountains.

  Synopsis: Ozone continuous monitors are costly to operate and require power. Very often there are large distances between continuous ozone monitor locations making it very difficult to infer the spatial patterns of ozone in complex mountainous areas. Interest in passive samplers to monitor ozone in remote areas has recently been rekindled. This paper discusses results of a pilot study that used ozone passive samplers to describe the spatial and annual temporal distribution of ozone concentrations in several forested areas in the Madrid Basin.

  Synopsis: Continuous analyzers and passive samplers were used in an extensive ozone monitoring campaign during five consecutive summer seasons in a forest region in the southern European Alps. Passive sampling allowed the determination of ozone concentration gradients along mountain slopes and vertical profiles inside forest canopies. Above-canopy profiles were determined by tethered balloons. An intercomparison between continuous analyzers and passive samplers in ozone monitoring under different experimental conditions highlighted advantages and disadvantages for each mentioned technique.
