Cl, K, and Ka concentrations in Antarctic snow and ice

Introduction.Absolute and relative concentrations of various elements in precipitation are subject to geographical variations which are sometimes very important [Eriksson, 1957,1959, 1960; Junge, 1956, 1957; Junge and Gustaf son, 1957; Junge and Werby, 1958; Sugawara et al., 1949]. These variations can be explained by some meteorological and geochemical hypotheses.
