'MADPro’s two main objectives were to develop cloud water measurement systems to be used in a network-monitoring environment and to update the cloud water concentration and deposition data collected in the Appalachian Mountains during the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) in the 1980s. MADPro measurements were conducted from 1994 through 1999 during the warm season (May through October) at three mountaintop sampling stations.These sampling stations were located at Whiteface Mountain, NY; Clingmans Dome, TN; and Whitetop Mountain, VA. A mobile manual sampling station also was operated at two locations in the Catskill Mountains in New York during 1995, 1997, and 1998. Measurements during the 2000 and 2001 sampling seasons were collected from two sites: Whiteface Mountain, NY and Clingmans Dome, TN. During the 2002 through 2006 sampling seasons, measurements were only collected from the one site at Clingmans Dome, TN (CLD303). Currently, CLD303 is being operated under the direction and funding of EPA and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)with infrastructure support provided by the National Park Service (NPS). This report is specifically for the activities and results from the CLD303 site during the 2006 field sampling season.'
