Trajectory analysis provides evidence that high sulfate concentrations observed during summer high-pressure systems at three rural sites in New York state are products of sulfur dioxide emissons to the south and southwest of New York state. The highest concentratins occur in air that first stagnates over the area surrounding the Ohio River Valley and then is advected into New York state as the high-pressure system begins to move eastward. The amount of oxides of nitrogen that emissions data indicate should accompany these high sulfate concentrations is not present in the particulate samples as inorganic nitrate.
