Attributes for MRB_E2RF1 Catchments by Major River Basins in the Conterminous United States: Normalized Atmospheric Deposition for 2002, Nitrate (NO3)
This tabular data set represents the average normalized (wet) deposition, in kilograms per square kilometer
multiplied by 100, of Nitrate (NO3) for the year 2002 compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment of the Major
River Basins (MRBs, Crawford and others, 2006). Estimates of NO3 deposition are based on National
Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) measurements (B. Larsen, U.S. Geological Survey, written.
commun., 2007). De-trending methods applied to the year 2002 are described in Alexander and others,
2001. NADP site selection met the following criteria: stations must have records from 1995 to 2002 and
have a minimum of 30 observations.
The MRB_E2RF1 catchments are based on a modified version of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
(USEPA) ERF1_2 and include enhancements to support national and regional-scale surface-water quality
modeling (Nolan and others, 2002; Brakebill and others, 2011).
Data were compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment for the conterminous United States covering New England
and Mid-Atlantic (MRB1), South Atlantic-Gulf and Tennessee (MRB2), the Great Lakes, Ohio, Upper Mississippi,
and Souris-Red-Rainy (MRB3), the Missouri (MRB4), the Lower Mississippi, Arkansas-White-Red, and Texas-Gulf
(MRB5), the Rio Grande, Colorado, and the Great basin (MRB6), the Pacific Northwest (MRB7) river basins, and
California (MRB8).
