  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Trends in rainfall-adjusted sulfate concentration were assessed for 5-yr subrecords of the 14.5–17 yr of monthly bulk-deposition data from five stations in New York by using the seasonal Kendall test. For the 5-yr subrecord from 1978 to 1982, the trends for the bulk deposition were similar to those for weekly wet-only deposition for adjacent stations of the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The long-term trend at each of the bulk-precipitation sites was downward and statistically significant at&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;lt; 0.02, whereas 26% of the 69 subrecords had trends that were statistically significant only at&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;lt; 0.2. Of these statistically significant subrecord trends, 10% were positive (opposite to the long-term trend). Furthermore, the slopes of the subrecord trends tended to be much steeper than those of the whole record. These 5-yr trends, consequently, are poor indicators of the trends that occur over much longer periods in the same record.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
