The Relation between the Chloride Content of Rain Water and the Airmass of Central Honshu

[摘要] The authors analysed the rain water fallen in Nagoya City during January, 1948 and November, 1949, and determined its chloride content. They studied the relation between the chloride content and the course of the air mass that brought the rain.The courses of air masses were classified as follows:a. North China-Yellow Sea-Korea-Japan Sea-Honshu.b. Central China-East China Sea-Honshu.c. Central China-East China Sea-Pacific Ocean-Honshu.d. Bonin Islands-Honshu.The chloride content shows its maximum for the maritime air mass (course d) which comes from the Pacific Ocean. The air mass of the continental origin (course a) shows the least chlorinity which seems to increase with the degree of modification caused by maritime effects.
