چکیده
The paper reports very important findings on long term rain chemistry data from dry remote savanna site in Africa. The interesting part of observations is that the site has unique characteristics regarding chemical composition of rain water. In most of the temperate regions where acid rain is common phenomenon, the acidity is mainly reported due to very high non sea salt SO42-. The major role playing ions in such regions are H+, SO42-, NH4+ and NO3whereas in dusty regions like India, Ca2+, SO42-, NH4+ and HCO3ions are major chemical components of rain water (Rodhe

Seasonal Study of Dust Deposition and Fine Particles (PM 2.5) in Iran Using MERRA-2 Data
The research results indicated that wet and dry dust deposition is a function of geographical characteristics. The seasonal wet and dry dust deposition and Fine Particles (PM 2.5) correlation in Iran with elevation, latitude and longitude results that the maximum correlation belongs to height, followed by latitude and longitude; meanwhile height and latitude are strongly and reversely correlate...
متن کاملA study of the effect of changes in the area of Maharlu lake on climatic parameters of Shiraz and on land surface temperature of its surrounding areas
Remote sensing is increasingly used in studies of periodic changes of land use and landsurface temperature (LST) calculations. In this paper, the effect of change in the area ofMaharlu Lake on climatic elements, land surface temperature and vegetation cover in theareas surrounding the lake were studied. To this end, the ETM + & TM sensor data ofLANDSAT satellite on May 22, 1987, May 17, 2000, M...
متن کاملAerosol and precipitation chemistry in a remote site in Central Amazonia: the role of biogenic contribution
A long-term (2–3 years) measurement of aerosol and precipitation chemistry was carried out in a remote site in Central Amazonia, Balbina, (1 • 55 ′ S, 59 • 29 ′ W, 174 m above sea level), about 200 km north of Manaus city. Aerosols were sampled using stacked filter units (SFU), which separate fine (d<2.5 µm) and coarse mode 5 (2.5 µm<d<10.0 µm). Filters were analyzed for particulate mass (PM), ...
متن کاملAtmospheric wet and dry deposition of trace elements at 10 sites in Northern China
Atmospheric deposition is considered to be a major process that removes pollutants from the atmosphere and an important source of nutrients and contaminants for ecosystems. Trace elements (TEs), especially toxic metals deposited on plants and into soil or water, can cause substantial damage to the environment and human health due to their transfer and accumulation in food chains. Despite public...
متن کاملHow energy and water availability constrain vegetation water-use along the North Australian Tropical Transect
Energy and water availability were identified as the first order controls of evapotranspiration(ET) in ecohyrodrology. With a ~1,000 km precipitation gradient and distinct wet-dry climate,the North Australian Tropical Transect (NATT) was well suited for evaluating how energy andwater availabilities constrain water use by vegetation, but has not been done yet. In this study,we addressed this que...
