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.
