Abstract:
Based on
7Be inventories in undisturbed soil and daily rainfall data,
7Be deposition flux was estimated in Yangling District, Shaanxi Province, China. The results show that there is no significant difference between the measured
7Be mean concentration and the estimated in rainfall, which demonstrates that it is reasonable to use
7Be inventories in undisturbed soil to estimate
7Be mean concentration in rainfall and then calculate
7Be deposition flux. Inter and intra-annual variation of
7Be deposition flux is significant difference at the study site. The coefficient of variation for monthly
7Be deposition flux is 0.97. There is a marked seasonality in the seasonal values of
7Be deposition flux. Maximum value occurs in summer and minimum value occurs in winter. The annual
7Be deposition flux is 2069 Bq/m
2. The variation of
7Be inventory in undisturbed soil and
7Be deposition flux were determined by the precipitation amount and its temporal distribution. The strong linear correlation between
7Be deposition flux and precipitation amount is evident at different time scales.
