B. Treiger et al., NONLINEAR MAPPING OF MICROBEAM PROTON-INDUCED X-RAY-EMISSION DATA FORSOURCE IDENTIFICATION OF NORTH-SEA AEROSOLS, Spectrochimica acta, Part B: Atomic spectroscopy, 49(4), 1994, pp. 345-353
A multivariate statistical evaluation technique, non-linear mapping, i
s proposed to extract information from a multielement microbeam proton
-induced X-ray emission data set. Individual aerosol particles, collec
ted in the North Sea troposphere, were classified according to their c
omposition. Several groups of particles were identified and suggestion
s were made for their sources.
