Influence of meteorological characteristics on the dynamics of VAR in Gorno-Altaisk, Russia

Abstract

The paper presents the results of monitoring the volume activity of radon (VAR) in the premises in Gorno-Altaisk for the period 2012-2017. The influence of meteorological characteristics on the dynamics of radon volume activity is shown, and a significant decrease in the level of radon emanations in the summer period compared to the winter period, presumably connected to ground freezing, is recorded. Significant coefficients of mutual correlation of pressure and volume activity of radon were obtained.
