The concentration of airborne soil dust at Enewetak Atoll(11 degrees N, 162 degrees E) in April 1979 was 2.3 micrograms per cubic meter but decreased steadily to 0.02 microgram per cubic meter over the next 5 months. The spring dust is probably derived from China; its deposition rate ( approximately 0.3 millimeter per 1000 years) suggests that it may be a significant contributor to the deep-sea sediments of the North Pacific.
1979 年 4 月,埃尼威托克环礁(北纬 11 度,东经 162 度)上空的土壤尘埃浓度为每立方米 2.3 微克,但在接下来的 5 个月里,浓度稳步下降至每立方米 0.02 微克。春季尘埃可能来自中国;其沉积速率(约每 1000 年 0.3 毫米)表明,它可能是北太平洋深海沉积物的一个重要贡献者。
