Ozone and radionuclide correlations in air of marine trajectory at Quillayute, Washignton
Ludwick JD, Fox TD, Wendell LL. 1976. Ozone and radionuclide correlations in air of marine trajectory at Quillayute, Washignton. Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association. 26(6)
A large number of radioactive and non-radioactive airborne constituents are being measured continually at our coastal air reference station located in northwestern Washington State. Important correlations have been observed between many of these materials. There are also apparent relationships between changing concentrations and meteorological paramaters. Intersting fluctuations in the ozone levels with incoming clean air masses may help explain some of the high ozone levels observed by workers elsewhere. Positive correlations between certain known high altitude source region particulate radionuclines and ozone on a daily basis point to the upper level origin of the higher ozone concentrations observed at this site. This view is reinforced by the more usual negative correlations observed between general particulate levels at Quillayute and ozone concentrations when measured on a continuous monitoring basis.
