State of the art atmospheric deposition models typically produce outputs in gridded formats, e.g. 12km by 12km, that cover the continental US plus portions of Canada and Mexico. However, the borders of study areas of interest such as watersheds, lakes, or specific States seldom align with the grids. This presentation will discuss a novel ArcHydro application that allows the user to examine deposition modeling results for any polygon of interest.
