Chemical Composition of Dew and Dry Fallout in Jerusalem, Israel

Nature volume 217, pages 1139–1140 (1968)Cite this article

Abstract

THIS report describes the first results of an analysis of the chemical composition of dew collected in Jerusalem, Israel, during the dry summer season of 1967. The data are compared with analyses of precipitation and dry fallout carried out during previous years (unpublished results of Yaalon and Jacobs), which were made in an attempt to evaluate the contribution of airborne salts to the circulation of soluble salts1,2.
