Wichita Mountains Wilderness Area
Preliminary Conceptual Model Summary
Sulfate transported from eastern Texas and the central and eastern United States are the major causes of haze at the Wichita Mountains Wilderness Area. Secondary nitrate from the central U.S. is responsible for the worst visibility days during the winter time. Regional biomass burning may also result in 20% worst visibility days.
