CONCLUSIONS • Consistent and comparable results for the CAPMoN and NADP • Merging data from the two network for continental scale studies is appropriate. • Biases quantified for CAPMoN versus NADP measurements were consistent between the 2005-2011 and 1996-2004 periods.
CONCLUSIONS • CAPMoNvalues are commonly higher than NADP values. Precipitation sensors, Sample containers, Sampling frequency, and Sample-processing protocols. • Over the 2005-2011 period, the variability in differences remained consistent for calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, ammonium, hydrogen-ion, sample depth and precipitation depth. • Variability decreased for chloride, nitrate, and sulfate differences after 2008.
