摘要
In this paper we study the temporal and spatial variability of scavenging ratios (SRs) based upon 2 years of continuous aerosol and precipitation data collected at three sites of the Atmosphere-Ocean Chemistry Experiment (AEROCE): Barbados, Bermuda and Ireland. At Barbados and Bermuda, the SRs for nss SO42-, NO3- and CH3SO3- fell within a relatively narrow range: 210-374; for the individual species, the absolute differences between the two site means were quite small, ranging from 9% for NO3-, to 36% for CH3SO3-. SRs at Ireland were very different but the situation is complicated due to the sectoring of aerosol but not of precipitation. On shorter time scales (days to months), SRs are highly variable and can range over orders of magnitude. Consequently, SRs based on short-term measurements at one place and time should be used with caution at other places and times. Nonetheless. the similarity in our 2-year mean SRs at Barbados and Bermuda suggests that SRs might be relatively constant over longer time periods.
