A three-year time-series of dust deposition flux measurements in Gran Canaria, Spain: A comparison of wet and dry surface deposition samplers

During 2009-2012, wet and dry deposition fluxes showed a marked seasonality with a maximum in spring. Dry deposition dominated the particle fluxes (more than 93% of the total flux) and a value of 25.0 ± 0.3 mg m−2 d-1 was measured. Estimated dry deposition velocity was 0.85 ± 0.38 cm s−1, in good agreement with previously reported values.
