Abstract:

Experimental data on the ion composition of 97 samples of rain and snow and 73 aerosol samples for two sites in Novosibirsk region in 1994–1995 are presented. The mean pH value of wet precipitation proved to be close to the calculated one (5.6) for the equilibrium of distilled water with the atmospheric CO2. The fractions of different ions in aerosol and wet precipitation are discussed. It was proposed that the atmospheric transport of mineral salts from other regions plays an appreciable role for the region under study.
