The performance of a new dry deposition module, developed for the European-scale mapping and modelling of ozone flux to vegetation, was tested against micrometeorological ozone and water vapour flux measurements. The measurement data are for two coniferous (Scots pine in Finland, Norway spruce in Denmark) and one deciduous forest (mountain birch in Finland). On average, the model performs well for the Scots pine forest, if local input data are used. The daytime deposition rates are somewhat over-predicted at the Danish site, especially in the afternoon. The mountain birch data indicate that the generic parameterisation of stomatal responses is not very representative of this northern species. The module was also tested by using modelled meteorological data that constitute the input for a photochemical transport model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
