Impact of the meteorological parameters on the behaviour of 7Be at ground level in Tetouan city, Morocco from June 2015 to February 2017

For the first time, atmospheric aerosols were collected in Tetouan city (Morocco), from June 2015 to February 2017, through which 7 Be activity was measured. We studied data variation by time series analyses and the impact of local meteorological factors on it. 7 Be concentrations, in mBq/m 3 , rang...

Description
Summary:For the first time, atmospheric aerosols were collected in Tetouan city (Morocco), from June 2015 to February 2017, through which 7 Be activity was measured. We studied data variation by time series analyses and the impact of local meteorological factors on it. 7 Be concentrations, in mBq/m 3 , ranged from 1.65 to 7.79 with mean value of 4.69. 7 Be behaviour is mainly influenced by air temperature, precipitations, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure. A prediction model was suggested and validated. This study helps understanding climatic variables impact on the environmental processes as aerosols transport and deposit, and to predict 7 Be behaviour in Mediterranean regions like Tetouan.
