The concentration, source and deposition flux of ammonium and nitrate in atmospheric particles during dust events at a coastal site in northern China

Asian dust has been reported to carry anthropogenic reactive nitrogen during transport from source areas to the oceans. In this study, we attempted to characterize NH+4 and NO − 3 in atmospheric particles collected at a coastal site in northern China during spring dust events from 2008 to 2011. Based on the mass concentrations of NH+4 and NO−3 in each total suspended particle (TSP) sample, the ...

Interactive comment on “The concentration, source apportionment and deposition flux of atmospheric particulate inorganic nitrogen during dust events” by Jianhua Qi et al

General Comments: The manuscript titled ‘The concentration, source apportionment and deposition flux of atmospheric particulate inorganic nitrogen during dust events’ written by Jianhua Qi presented the dust impacts on particulate inorganic nitrogen by analyzing the aerosol samples collected at Qingdao, China. The authors divided dust pattern into three parts, and investigated the dry depositio...
