✦ Synopsis

Measurements are presented of sulfate and nitrate production in clouds on the East and West coasts of the United States. Sulfate production measured on the mid-Atlantic Coast was significantly greater than on the Pacific Northwest Coast. Nitrate production was significant on the mid-Atlantic Coast but, on average, insignificant on the Pacific Northwest Coast. Measurements of sulfate and nitrate scavenging coefficients by clouds are also presented.
