Chemical Composition and Fluxes of Wet Deposition at Elevated Sites (700–3105 m a.s.l.) in the Eastern alps (Austria)

  • Conference paper
Seasonal Snowpacks

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIG,volume 28))

Abstract

Current research involving snow chemistry is performed at “cold” remote sites mainly to assess the historical evolution of the chemical climate (recently reviewed by Lorius et al. 1989) and the eventual impact of anthropogenic emissions in the last decades (recently reviewed by Wagenbach 1989).
