Petroff leiming.zhang@ec.gc.ca L. Zhang Air Quality Research Division, Science and Technology Branch, Environment Canada, 4905 Dufferin Street, Toronto, Ontario M3H 5T4, Canada now at: The University of Toronto, Department of Chemistry, 80 St George Street, Toronto, Ontario M5S 3H6, Canada A size-resolved particle dry deposition scheme is developed, which has been designed for inclusion in large-scale air quality and climate models, where the size distribution and fate of the atmospheric aerosol is of concern. The "resistance" structure is similar to what is proposed by Zhang et al. (2001, 2003), while a new "surface" deposition velocity (or surface resistance) is derived by simplification of a one-dimensional aerosol transport model (Petroff et al., 2008b, 2009). Collection efficiencies are given for the 26 Land Use Categories that decribe the earth surface. Validation of this model with existing measurements is performed on desert, grass, coniferous forest and liquid water surfaces. A comparison of this model with measurements on snow and ice is also given. Even though a qualitative agreement is reached, further size-segegated measurements are needed in order to confirm the model accuracy on this surface. The present analytical model provides more accurate predictions of the aerosol deposition on these surfaces than previous models.
