Sodium in Precipitation: A Presentation of Data from the European Air Chemistry Network (Eacn)

摘要

The sodium content of monthly precipitation samples collected in EACN was analyzed. A seasonal variation of the sodium concentration is noted with high concentration in October through February and lowest concentration in July and August. The main sources are the sea and windblown soil dust. No long term change in concentration is observed over the time period studied (1955 to 1979).
