10Be annual fallout in rains in India
Abstract
The 10Be concentrations of annual rainfall collections during 1979-1981, at eight stations in India, ranged from 0.43 × 10 7 to 8.48 × 10 7 atoms/l and the corresponding 10Be fallouts are in the range of 0.31 × 10 6 to 2.73 × 10 6 atoms cm -2 a -1. The estimated 10Be global fallout based on the presently available data is 1.55 × 10 7 atoms -2 a -1 or 5 × 10 -2 atoms cm -2 s -1. Most of the measured rates of fallout and deep sea deposition of 10Be are a factor of 2-3 lower than the present estimate.
