Abstract

Results of simultaneous measurements of trace substances in rain sampled during the passage of precipitation systems are discussed. The pattern of the concentrations for particulate matter is compared with that for the O18 and deuterium isotopes. The variations in the concentration have been investigated for various synoptic situations.
