INVESTIGATION ON TROPOSPHERIC WASH-OUT

Abstract

The results are presented of investigations on aerosol- and trace-gas rain-out and wash-out by cloud- and rain droplets. These investigations were performed during last year at four different locations, namely Frankfurt/Main, Taunus observatory, Mt. Kleiner Feldberg, observatory on Mt. Zugspitze and at St. Moritz, Switzerland. These stations show a wide variety with respect to altitude, climate, supply and production of atmospheric trace-substances. Besides the chemical analysis of individual rainfalls, gaseous traces and aerosols were also microchemically analyzed. During the second stage of the investigation, a detailed picture of individual rainfalls was gained by continuous records of the variation of certain components during rainfall.
