Abstract
Wet-only rain samples were collected and analysed for formic, acetic, hydrochloric, nitric and sulfuric acids. The organic acids contributed to free acidity of rain to about 5%, and wet depositional fluxes were lower than 4.0 and 2.0 mmol m-2 yr-1 for formate and acetate, respectively. We found a strong correlation between formic and acetic acids with a ratio averaged to 1.72, and we observed a slight dependency of the formic-to-acetic acid ratios on air temperature. Although the concentrations of the organic acids showed a distinct maximum during the growing season, highest deposition rates were found later in the year.
