Chemical characteristics of summer precipitation at Point Barrow, Arctic Alaska

Precipitation samples collected at Point Barrow, Alaska in the August and September of 1994 was analyzed for pH, conductivity and all major ions. A mean pH value of 5.53 was gained, and the samples' conductivity showed no linear correlation with its acidity, which did not agree to the similar w...

Description
Summary:Precipitation samples collected at Point Barrow, Alaska in the August and September of 1994 was analyzed for pH, conductivity and all major ions. A mean pH value of 5.53 was gained, and the samples' conductivity showed no linear correlation with its acidity, which did not agree to the similar work results on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau.
