Abstract
The Ca++/Cl– ratio is a logical index of the predominance of continental or marine water-soluble aerosols in precipitation. Use of this ratio and others indicates that, excluding immediate coastal areas, continental aerosols constitute a large majority of the soluble material brought down in precipitation over land. The correlation of the concentrations of various ions in precipitation with the regional distribution of these elements in the soil presents further support for this conclusion.
