Abstract

Abstract The extent to which weekly precipitation samples are representative of acidity in precipitation on the Japan Sea side of Japan was analyzed with respect to daily wet deposition samples. In comparison to weekly deposition samples, the pH of daily deposition samples is distributed in a narrow range between pH 4.2 and 5.0. Weekly samples of higher pH appeared to be inflated by excess Ca2+ which was emitted from road dust. The average annual pH remained nearly constant during the six winters of the study.
