On processes controlling the distribution and fluxes of boron in natural waters and air along transects across the South Island of New Zealand

摘要: Abstract The concentrations of boron were measured in rain, air and soil water along transects across the Southern Alps, New Zealand, during southern autumn early winter 1999. Estimates wet deposition, dry flux leaving are presented. At Main Divide strong constant orographic effects on rain-bearing fronts resulted low little variation rain. Areas with less influence received varying rain depending origin character fronts. Concentrations greater near sea than intramontane basin. High mean go together large variations caused by changes wind direction speed frontal passages. Air reaching basin was depleted because washout over eastern western ranges deposition. After a long summer spell, first flush contained high at flow. Later, as wetted up, concentration approached that all sites. Wet deposition least sites away from coast where there it. rainfall or occurred divides. Dry varied shorter time intervals distances It coastlines onshore winds basin, especially weak convective turbulence. springs resembled those water, increasing coastal plain eastwards Alps.
