Box model - Sulfur over the eastern U.S.<br />
• Amount of a constituent is a reservoir (kg)<br />
• The flux of a constituent from one reservoir to<br />
another is given in (kg/s)<br />
• 1 Tg = 10^6 tons (the mass of a million cars)<br />
• Smokestacks <strong>and</strong> vehicles in the eastern U.S.<br />
emit 12 Tg S/yr (flux into the atmospheric<br />
reservoir)<br />
• ~8 Tg S/yr fall back to the ground as acid rain<br />
(flux out of the atmospheric reservoir)
