Description
Summary:rsio he from the Sellafield-derived tracer at the island Hillesøy on the northern coast of Norway is found to be in the range 5–8 years, 0.005 Bq m−3. This background concentration is mainly the English Channel since 1962, contributing to elevated concentrations of 99Tc as well as other man-generated radionuclides. Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Journal of Marine Systems 68⁎which is slightly older than previous estimates of the related concept of transit time. A complex pattern of variability is identified, with local and regional atmospheric forcing influencing both the northward tracer flux and the time elapsed since the tracer left the source.
