On the Chemical Composition of Fog and Cloud Water
Houghton HG and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 1955. On the Chemical Composition of Fog and Cloud Water. Journal of Meteorology. 12:355-357
Describes the partial analysis of samples of fog and cloud water. 'The partial chemical analysis of some ninety samples of fog and cloud water is reported. The fog samples were collected at four locations along the northeast coast of North America, and the cloud samples were obtained on Mount Washington, New Hampshire. It is found that the soluble nuclei are predominantly chlorides and sulfates. The chlorides are dominant in air with a recent trajectory over the sea, while the sulfate is always present. In many cases it appears that much of the sulfate is in the form of sulfuric acid.' WATER QUALITY: Notes fog pH in Brooklin, Maine in the 1930's. This is the oldest fog pH data available in the vicinity of Acadia National Park /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MAINE/
