Size-resolved characterisation of soluble ions in the particles in the tropospheric plume of Masaya volcano, Nicaragua: Origins and plume processing

We present the first application of a multi-stage impactor to study volcanic particle emissions to the troposphere from Masaya volcano, Nicaragua. Concentrations of soluble SO42- C1-, F-, NO3-, K+, Na+, NH4+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ were determined in 11 size bins from ∼0.07 μm to >25.5 μm. The near-so...
