7Be and 210Pb total deposition fluxes at New Haven, Connecticut and at Bermuda.

The 210Pb flux has remained virtually constant at New Haven from 1973 to 1978, the flux in the 1977-1978 period being 1.2 dpm/cm2/y. The 210Pb flux at Bermuda is 0.69 dpm/cm2/y. This lower flux than expected from model calculations is due to the establishment of a blocking high pressure cell during...

Description
Summary:The 210Pb flux has remained virtually constant at New Haven from 1973 to 1978, the flux in the 1977-1978 period being 1.2 dpm/cm2/y. The 210Pb flux at Bermuda is 0.69 dpm/cm2/y. This lower flux than expected from model calculations is due to the establishment of a blocking high pressure cell during the summer which deflects continental air. The 7Be fluxes at New Haven and Bermuda are 22.7 and 17.1 dpm/cm2/y, values consistent with western North Atlantic oceanic standing crop measurements, but higher than some other estimates.
