Atmospheric 222Rn Measurements at San Nicolas Island.

Abstract

Radon (222) measurements showed that maritime air prevailed for four of the nine days of sampling from April 30 to May 10, 1978. There were, in addition, two days of small continental influence and three days of moderate continental influence. This period was in contrast to May 8 to 22, 1978 (CEWCOM-78) and November 17 to 21, 1979, where in the former, there were only two brief periods of maritime air, and in the latter only one sample was taken that was not continental.
