Stratospheric Fallout of Strontium-89 and Barium-140
A series of nuclear test explosions which occurred in the fall of 1958 caused a very large increase of Sr89 and Ba140 in the stratosphere. Finally, the Ba140/Sr89 ratio in the stratosphere, and hence in the troposphere, has decreased steadily since then with a half-life of approximately 17 days.
