Larson, R E; Jeck, R K

Radon concentration in the near surface air at San Nicolas Island, California, was measured. Unreported results for January and July 1980 are emphasized. For six of eight days during the January session the measured radon concentration was greater than 40 picocuries/cubic m corresponding to a continential air mass. Only the first day involved a maritime air mass with radon concentration less than about 6 picocuries/cubic m. In contrast to all the previous sessions, maritime, air dominated the ten day session in July 1980, with radon concentrations generally less than about 5 picocuries/cubic m.
