Tephra in the atmosphere from the three major eruptions in 1980 was traced by analyzing the particulate matter from weekly rain collections at 62 sites across the U.S. Dilution of the tephra by other aerosols varied from 20'70 near Mount St. Helens to about 300'70 at downwind sites, which were two days and 3000 km from Mount St. Helens. Atmospheric cleanup of the tephra at a given site occurred in I-2 weeks, sometimes in a few days, as measured by the particulate matter in rain.
