Atmospheric deposition refers to particles, gases, and chemical compounds that settle from the atmosphere onto land, water, or surfaces. This can happen through dry deposition, such as dust or aerosols settling out, or wet deposition through rain, snow, or other precipitation. Sampling these materials helps researchers study air quality, climate interactions, pollution transport, and environmental change.
