Highlights (3 to 5 bullet points, maximum 85 characters per bullet point)• Spatial variation in air dose rates in a mountainous area was investigated• Measurements obtained by KURAMA-II, NaI detectors, and airborne surveys were compared• Radiocesium deposition was greater on ridges than in valley bottoms• Elevation and slope aspect strongly affected air dose rates 1 Catchment-scale distribution of radiocesium air dose rate in a mountainous 1 deciduous forest and its relation to topography 2 3 Abstract 4 A large number of air dose rate measurements were collected by walking through a 5
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
