“…However, this study does not delve into the specifics behind these lower readings. Considering that rain or precipitation is the most influential factor in Be-7 deposition, as described in studies such as [24], [25], [26], [27], and [28], these findings do not align with the study by [3] which suggests that June experiences the least rainfall, and August sees the highest precipitation during SWM period. It may be due to the position of Cameron Highlands, which is not so affected by the SWM as mentioned in [27], where geographical attributes including latitude, longitude and altitude can give effect to radionuclide deposition rates.…”

Beryllium-7 (Be-7) is a significant radionuclide, primarily produced through cosmic ray interactions with atmospheric elements. Its study can provide insights into atmospheric processes and transport mechanisms. This research investigates the concentration of Be-7 in surface air at the Radionuclide Station (MYP42) located in Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands, Malaysia, during the Southwest Monsoon season using data from the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO) from 2011 to 2021. Meteorological parameters of the study area, such as wind direction, wind speed, humidity, and precipitation, are considered to understand their influence on radionuclide dispersion and deposition. The results from this study are aimed to contribute to the understanding of atmospheric dynamics in the Cameron Highlands region and may have implications for broader atmospheric and environmental studies. The study results suggest no statistically significant variation in Be-7 concentration during the southwest monsoon season, demonstrating minimal fluctuations within and outside the monsoon period. Such insights are crucial for the region’s scientific research and environmental management.

“…Atmospheric 7 Be near ground level generally seems to be originated from the upper troposphere, due to its relatively short physical half-life (53.3 days) and long removal time (1–2 years) in the stratosphere [ 6 ]. The following factors are known to produce the (seasonal) fluctuations in 7 Be activity concentration levels at ground level [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]: cosmic-ray intensity [ 10 , 11 ], the exchange of atmosphere between the troposphere and stratosphere [ 12 , 13 ], the north–south or east–west mixing of atmosphere [ 14 ], and the frequency of precipitation [ 15 , 16 ].…”

In March 2013, increased 7Be activity concentrations in the atmosphere were observed for successive days in Dazaifu, western Japan. The daily 7Be activity concentration ranged from 0.93 to 14 mBq/m3, with a monthly average of 8.3 mBq/m3. This average was the highest among the monthly averages observed between 1999 and 2015, and higher than the monthly average over this period (4.7 mBq/m3) plus twice the standard deviation. Also, this exceeded the monthly average (6.0 mBq/m3) only for March 1999–2015 (excluding 2013, when the cosmic-ray intensity, a component producing 7Be, decreased). Based on the backward trajectory analysis etc. results, the inflow of air from the stratosphere and upper troposphere at high latitudes that frequently occurred in March 2013 was considered the reason for the 7Be activity concentration increase.
