Air pressure and cosmogenic isotope production

Abstract: Abstract. The cosmic ray flux increases at higher altitude as air pressure and the shielding effect of the atmosphere decrease. Altitude-dependent scaling factors are required to compensate for this effect in calculating cosmic ray exposure ages. Scaling factors in current use assume a uniform relationship between altitude and atmospheric pressure over the Earth's surface. This masks regional differences in mean annual pressure and spatial variation in cosmogenic isotope production rates. Outside Antarctica, a… Show more

“…A series of calibration studies have established the spallogenic and muongenic 36 Cl production system in carbonate rocks [15][16][17][18]. Accordingly the 36 Cl production rates in this study were calculated based on the chemical compositions of the carbonate rock (Tables 2 and 3), and scaled by using geographic information (latitudes and altitudes) of individual locations.…”

“…Bromley et al [37] defined a lower moraine group (~5000-4900 m), extending to the lower area of the glacial valleys, as CI and a higher moraine group (~5500 m), deposited in the middle part of the Santiago valley, as CII. For each group of moraines they found two age ranges, depending on the scaling model used: Lm [70] or Li [71][72][73]: -CI moraines:~25-15 ka (Lm) and~21-12 ka (Li), with outlier ages~47 and~31 ka (Li) and~61 and~37 ka (Lm). -CII moraines:~11-12 ka (Lm) and~11-8 ka (Li).…”

“…In the case of Illimani (Smith et al, 2011), ages were not available in the Shakun et al (2015a) composite, and we recalculated with the Quelccaya 10 Be production rate calibration (Kelly et al, 2015), and the CRONUS-Earth calculator version 2.3 with the time-invariant 'St' scaling method of Stone (2000) following Lal (1991). Newly published data from the Cordillera Carabaya (Bromley et al, 2016) and Nevado Huaguruncho (Stansell et al, 2015) were calculated by the authors using the Quelccaya production rates.…”
