We present and discuss an estimate of the radon-222 (radon) flux density from the Southern Ocean and its seasonal variability. The flux estimate was based on selected hourly atmospheric radon concentration measurements in the Baseline wind sector of the Cape Grim station in Tasmania (40°41’S, 144°41...
