| Title: | Identification of Chernobyl fall-out as a new reference level in northern hemisphere glaciers / M. Pourchet, J.F. Pinglot, L. Reynaud, Gerald Holdsworth. |
| Author(s): | Pourchet, M. Pinglot, J. F. Reynaud, L. Holdsworth, Gerald. |
| Date: | 1988. |
| In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1988.), Vol. 34(117) (1988) |
| Abstract: | Quantitative measurements of radioactive materials have been conducted on snow samples from several glaciers in Greenland, Svalbard, North America, and French Alps, and artificial radio-isotopes from Chernobyl accident (April 1986) were identified. Due to short time of occurrence, temporal resolution of event in snow layers may be generally quite low and positive results require careful sampling. Size of signal also depends on trajectory of contaminant cloud, amount of precipitation, and surface conditions during deposition. In North America, detection of this new reference level will require snow samples of greater weights. |
