Abstract
Gross beta activity measurements are analysed from the point of view of the annual cycle in the lower troposphere. The annual cycles found in rainfall concentration of radioactive fallout and in the total fallout deposition peak at different times, the former in December and the latter in August. The difference is explained in terms of the variation in rainfall. A phase difference is apparent between these cycles and in situ stratospheric data, suggesting that ground level air lags behind the stratosphere by about one or two months.
