Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis Data for Cloud-Water Particulate Samples, Mount Bamboo, Taiwan, March 22–24, 2002

Abstract

Cloud water was sampled on Mount Bamboo in northern Taiwan during March 22–24, 2002. Cloud-water samples were filtered using 0.45-micron filters to remove particulate material from the water samples. Filtered particulates were analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) at the U.S. Geological Survey National Reactor Facility in Denver, Colorado, in February 2012. INAA elemental composition data for the particulate materials are presented. These data complement analyses of the aqueous portion of the cloud-water samples, which were performed earlier by the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, National Central University, Taiwan. The data are intended for evaluation of atmospheric transport processes and air-pollution sources in Southeast Asia.
