Abstract
The spatial patterns of the precipitation-weighted mean concentration and total deposition of sulfate and nitrate in Ontario from 1981 to 1983 were determined using the Modified Simple Kriging method. The 3-yr averaged spatial patterns of sulfate and nitrate concentrations were similar to the sulfate and nitrate 3-yr averaged deposition patterns in Ontario. The overall spatial variability of nitrate was slightly higher than sulfate. The seasonal variation of nitrate concentrations and deposition were less regular than sulfate.
