  "term": "Deposition velocity",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A conceptual velocity representing the rate at which airborne substances are removed from the atmosphere and deposited onto a surface. It is calculated by dividing the deposition flux of a substance by its concentration in the air near the surface. This parameter is used in atmospheric modeling to quantify the dry deposition of pollutants.",
