title: A study of the vertical diffusion of the cosmogenic radionuclides, 7Be and 22Na in the atmosphere.
abstract: The study of the mean vertical concentration profile of cosmogenic radionuclides provides information on the vertical transport in the troposphere and stratosphere. This paper is based on the results of accurate measurements of the mean monthly activity concentrations of (7)Be and (22)Na in ground-level air, data of the production rate of cosmogenic radionuclides in the atmosphere and a one-dimensional steady-state diffusion equation numerically solving the finite difference approximation.
