Hourly precipitation samples were collected for chemical analysis with an automatic, sequential sampler. Samples were analyzed for pH, conductivity, sulfate, and other constituents. We found that pH is related to sulfate concentration and atmospheric concentration of small particles. Chemical constituents vary seasonally and with precipitation type. Data permit inferences on the relative importance of rainout and washout.
