Abstract

One of the aims of Project Shower was to determine the salt content of trade-wind air as it crossed the coast of Hawaii and again as it passed through the Saddle beyond the windward and dissipating edge of the orographic cloud layer, in the hope that it might be possible to strke a “salt budget” in conjunction with the measurements of rainfall amounts and salinities carried out by other observers. Sea-salt nucleus distributions over the sea were regularly measured by WOODCOCK (communicated), but regular measurements in the Saddle area were not possible.
