Naturally occurring positive and negative ions in the troposphere have been mass identified at Sapelo Island, Georgia, and Mt. Evans, Colorado. These measurements were made at ground level under a variety of weather conditions. Over the course of the experiment, positive ions were seen at masses 54, 60, 80, and 94 AMU. Mass 54 AMU is believed to be NH4 + · 2(H2O). In the negative spectrum, ions were observed at masses 62 and 125 AMU and are believed to be NO3− and NO3− · (HNO3). Several ions that appear to be H2O clusters of the above ions were also observed. These are the first measurements of the mass identity (1-AMU resolution) of naturally occurring ions in the troposphere with the exception of a previous measurement made in 1982 over a limited mass range in an urban environment (Eisele, 1983). Ions that were artificially produced were also studied and compared to the much longer lived natural ions.
