Abstract:
Concentratios of Cl-, Mg2+, Ca2+, and HCO3- ions were studied in rain waters and condensed atmospheric moisture above the Atlantic Ocean. Maximal number of samples was collected in the eastern tropical North Atlantic. Concentration of chloride ions ranged from 1 to 28 mg/l in rain waters (average 4.3 mg/l) and ranged from 0.3 to 2 mg/l in condensed atmospheric moisture with the average about one order of magnitude less than that for rain waters. Chloride normalized concentrations of magnesium and calcium are greater in rain waters and condensed atmospheric moisture than in ocean water due to more intensive subtraction of these ions as compared to chloride ions. Chloride normalized HCO3- concentration is one order of magnitude greater in atmospheric moisture than in seawater, possibly because of volatile component CO2 taking part in exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere.
