Abstract

One of the major problems in interpreting precipitation chemistry data is determining the possible source areas of the materials found in the precipitation. To investigate this problem, the trajectory program developed at Air Resources Laboratories (NOAA) was used to compute five-day backward air trajectories from Ithaca, New York.
