Understanding the variability of 7Be surface concentrations in Europe: the role of teleconnection patterns
The temporal and spatial variability of atmospheric compounds and pollutants is largely driven by a combination of local, mesoscale and synoptic meteorological conditions influencing atmospheric processes, such as horizontal and vertical dispersion, deposition, chemical reactions rates and velocity....

The temporal and spatial variability of atmospheric compounds and pollutants is largely driven by a combination of local, mesoscale and synoptic meteorological conditions influencing atmospheric processes, such as horizontal and vertical dispersion, deposition, chemical reactions rates and velocity. At the same time, different anthropogenic and natural radionuclides have long been used as tracers to understand and describe surface and atmospheric processes and their influence on transport and deposition. Among these substances, 7Be, a cosmogenic radionuclide produced by spallation reactions in the stratosphere and upper troposphere, is frequently used as tracer of different atmospheric processes. Many studies have reported how the variability of 7Be surface concentration is driven by the movement of air masses, atmospheric deposition processes, tropospheric vertical mixing, and the vertical exchange between the stratosphere and the troposphere. With an aim to elucidate the influence of teleconnection and tropospheric circulation dynamics, several studies have investigated the influence of the main modes of large scale and regional climate variability in Europe, such as North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Arctic Oscillation (AO), East Atlantic (EA), East Atlantic/Western Russia (EA/WR), Scandinavian pattern (SCAND), and Western Mediterranean Oscillation (WeMO) on the surface 7Be activity concentrations.
