A hybrid receptor-deposition (HRD) modeling approach was used to determine the spatial and temporal variation in the ambient concentration and dry deposition flux of trace elements on fine (< 2.5 mm) and coarse (> 2.5 mm) particulate matter over Lake Erie. Upper-air observations from the National Weather Service (NWS) and ambient concentrations measured at two sampling sites downwind of major emission sources in the Lake Erie basin were input to the model. An evaluation of the deposition flux of size-segregated trace elements to the lake during the over-water transport was performed. The average total (fine + coarse) deposition flux was 9.6 ng/m2-h for V, 70 ng/m2-h for Mn, 3.2 ng/m2-h for As, 4.2 ng/m2-h for Se, 10 ng/m2-h for Cd, and 43.3 ng/m2-h for Pb.

Abstract The effect of horizontal diffusion on the long-range transport simulation is examined with a Lagrangian particle transport model. The transport of radioactivity released from Chernobyl is simulated by the model with different values of horizontal diffusivity. The computed concentrations are statistically compared with measured concentration. The best simulation is found when the magnitude of the horizontal diffusivity is between 3.3 × 104 and 1.0 × 105 m2 s−1. The performance of empirical formulas of horizontal diffusion, in which mean-square displacement σy is specified as a function of time, is also examined. A part of measured concentrations, which are relatively low concentrations, cannot be explained by transport and diffusion only. It is shown that these measured concentrations can be explained by resuspension of deposited radioactivity.
