Abstract

The concentration of near-surface Beryllium-7 contains valuable information about the atmosphere, e.g., the tropospheric circulation, precipitation pattern or specific atmospheric phenomena, like the El Niño Southern Oscillation. Here, we modelled the transport and deposition of Beryllium-7 from galactic cosmic rays for 1850-2100, using the ECHAM/MESSy atmospheric chemistry climate model, and analyzed the variability of near-surface Beryllium-7 due to the El Niño Southern Oscillation. We find that our simulated Beryllium-7 time series agree well with Beryllium-7 measurements from the international monitoring system of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization. The analysis of the time series reveals significant Beryllium-7 patterns for El Niño and La Niña in the equatorial Pacific region, controlled by precipitation anomalies and the respective state of the Walker Circulation. Furthermore, our simulations show an intensification of the Beryllium-7 pattern for El Niño and La Niña in the future. Additionally, our findings suggest that near-surface Beryllium-7 could be used as an additional indicator or even predictor of the upcoming phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Environmental Radioactivity provides a coherent international forum for publication of original research or review papers on any aspect of the occurrence of radioactivity in natural systems. Relevant subject areas range from applications of environmental radionuclides as mechanistic or timescale tracers of natural processes to assessments of the radioecological or radiological effects of ambient radioactivity. Papers deal with naturally occurring nuclides or with those created and released by man through nuclear weapons manufacture and testing, energy production, fuel-cycle technology, etc. Reports on radioactivity in the oceans, sediments, rivers, lakes, groundwaters, soils, atmosphere and all divisions of the biosphere are welcomed, but these should not simply be of a monitoring nature unless the data are particularly innovative.
