Abstract: Human nuclear activities, especially intensive nuclear tests during the 1960s in the world, caused atmospheric tritium concentration increasing significantly, which provided convenient condition for global water cycle research, especially for tracer dating research of groundwater. However, due to the layout of monitoring sites and other reasons, most parts of the world are lack of monitoring data of tritium concentration in precipitation, which brought difficulties in determining the input function which is essential for groundwater tracer dating technique. Based on the analysis of principles and applicability of present reconstruction methods of tritium time series, the tritium time series in precipitation in Beijing during 1953—2002 was reconstructed using combined methods, including Guanbingjun method, trend surface analysis method, trigonometric interpolation method and correlation method. Furthermore, the best method and the best time series curve were elected through comparison of results of different methods.
