A review of parameterizations for modelling dry deposition and scavenging of radionuclides

This article aims at reviewing the state-of-the-science parameterizations for modelling dry deposition and scavenging of atmospheric tracers, with a focus on radionuclides. These parameterizations are key components of the numerical models that are used for environmental forecast. We present detailed models and parameterizations. Both are characterized by many uncertainties.
