Cosmogenic 7Be deposition in North Wales: 7Be concentrations in sheep faeces in relation to altitude and precipitation

Temporal variation of 7Be concentrations in atmosphere for 8y from 2000 at Yamagata, Japan: solar influence on the 7Be time series

“…However, in the observation of the surface 7 Be concentrations, we cannot neglect meteorological removal effects such as precipitation (Caillet et al, 2001;Ioannidou and Papastefanou, 2006;Megumi et al, 2000;Salisbury and Cartwright, 2005). Therefore, it is necessary to estimate how precipitation affects the time variations in the 7 Be concentrations.…”

Short-term seasonal variability in 7Be wet deposition in a semiarid ecosystem of central Argentina

“…Salisbury and Cartwright (2005) estimated that wet fallout accounts for about 97% of the total 7 Be ground deposition. Ioannidou et al (2005) and Wallbrink and Murray (1994) suggested that dry depositions contribute, at a maximum, with only 8% of the total deposition.…”

Classification of soil samples according to their geographic origin using gamma-ray spectrometry and principal component analysis

“…The concentrations of beryllium on the ground are higher in areas of high rainfall. Since precipitation is generally higher in upland regions, an increase in concentration of beryllium with altitude is to be expected (Salisbury and Cartwright, 2005). Due to these reasons, cesium isotopes and beryllium were used in our work to differentiate areas according to their susceptibility to fallout.…”
