Transport and fate of acid rains out of North America. Final report, April 14, 1982-April 13, 1983
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5779403
A program to determine the transport of acid rain has been undertaken at Bermuda. The results indicate that precipitation at Bermuda is acidified to a pH of 4.8 over a one-year period with a seasonal component of greater acidity (pH 4.4) corresponding to back trajectories of the North American air mass. A detailed study of the composition of Bermuda rainwater compared to a North American coastal site has been carried out as well as a shipboard collection program between eastern North America and Bermuda. The results indicate that the strong acid acidity is due to long-range transport of the North American air mass.
