Quillayute air reference station

A large number of radioactive and non-radioactive airborne constituents are being measured continually at the BNWL coastal air-reference station located in northwestern Washington State. Important correlations have been observed between many of these materials and also with atmospheric parameters. The apparent relationships between changing concentrations and meteorological parameters are being tested using more thorough techniques of investigation, including back trajectory computer analyses. Data are included on radionuclides, aerosol particle size and stable elements in daily air samples. (U.S.)
