Impact of North American emissions

Impact of North American Emissions on Wet Deposition to the Western Atlantic Ocean. Wet deposition has been collected by event during WATOX at two sites on Bermuda, one site near Lewes, Delaware, and on board ships. These wet-deposition samples have been analyzed for acidic species, metals, and organic compounds. This section discusses our interpretation of the marine precipitation-chemistry data and the results of our analyses as well as the influence of North American emissions on precipitation composition. 

The Impact of North American Emissions on the Composition of the Atmosphere over the Western Atlantic Ocean. As part of WATOX-82 (August 1982) and WATOX-83 (January and February 1983), General Motors Research Laboratories operated air-monitoring sites on the Atlantic coast near Lewes, Delaware, and on the southwest coast of Bermuda, 1250 km to the southeast of the Delaware site. Their overall purpose was to study the transformations of the principal acid-precipitation precursors, NOx and SOx species, as they were transported under conditions not complicated by emissions from local sources. Three papers have resulted from this study (16. 17. 18).
