Abstract
For the first time, the specific features of snow cover chemistry were studied in the period of its accumulation on Bolshevik Island (the area near the research station Cape Baranov Ice Base). In winter 2018/2019, the specific electric conductance, density, titrated acidity, pH, \({\text{NH}}_{4}^{ + }\), \({\text{NO}}_{3}^{ - }\), \({\text{NO}}_{2}^{ - }\), \({\text{PO}}_{4}^{{3 - }}\), and Si were measured in fresh and compacted snow and, additionally, Na+, К+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl−, and \({\text{SO}}_{4}^{{2 - }}\) were measured in compacted snow. Patterns of variations of fresh and compacted snow characteristics were identified, and the effect of marine and anthropogenic factors was discussed. Snow chemistry on Bolshevik Island was compared with the chemistry of precipitation and snow cover in other background areas of the Russian Federation.
期刊介绍:
Water Resources is a journal that publishes articles on the assessment of water resources, integrated water resource use, water quality, and environmental protection. The journal covers many areas of research, including prediction of variations in continental water resources and regime; hydrophysical, hydrodynamic, hydrochemical and hydrobiological processes, environmental aspects of water quality and protection; economic, social, and legal aspects of water-resource development; and experimental methods of studies.
