Abstract

We have used EML Surface Air Sampling Program (SASP) data to analyze the long-term trend in 7Be surface concentration and address possible correlation between this long-term trend and climatic changes, namely changes in precipitation patterns and temperature. In this paper we present 7Be concentration data from 23 sites, spanning over 25 years, all over the world, and extract long-term trend parameter using two independent techniques. The 7Be concentrations in most stations show a pronounced decreasing trend, potentially corresponding to statistically significant changes in transporting 7Be from upper atmosphere source to these sites. Weak negative correlation between 7Be concentration and amount of precipitation was also observed. However, more data from more representative sites around the world are needed the statistical robustness of this trend.
