Daily precipitation at Tustervatn (65°83′N, 13°92′E, 439 m above sea level) was analysed for ions and oxygen isotopes. Seven-day air mass trajectories provided information about the precipitation source and history. The highest Na+ loads were associated with air masses which had crossed the Norwegia...
