Abstract
Correlation analysis between various surface weather parameters and samples of atmospherically borne radioactive material has been performed. The material collected was primarily of natural origin (i.e. radon and thoron). Statistically significant correlations exist between wind speed at the time of sampling and between temperature, dew point, visibility and the north-south component of the wind vector prior to the time of sampling. The analysis suggests that the natural radioactive material is transported into the Austin area within the turbulence associated with a cold frontal passage and concentrated in the lower air layers by the ensuing elevated temperature inversion.
