5
Daily Sampling and Measurement of Be-7 in the atmosphere from 2000 High Volume Air Sampler (HV-100F) Sampling time: 23 hours/day Intake rate: 1000 L/min. Collected filter ・ Glass fiber filter collection efficiency : 99.99% ( m particle ) ・ Glass fiber filter collection efficiency : 99.99% ( m particle ) HPGe detector Measurement time : 6 hours detection efficiency 2.68% resolution @ 1.33MeV 1.69keV Sampling site Altitude: 153 m Latitude: 38.25 Longitude:140.3
6
Yearly profile of Be-7 concentrations
7
Daily profile of Be-7 concentrations @Yamagata Japan
8
Daily sampling of Be-7 in atmosphere at high altitude Expecting observation of short term variations such as 27-day, GLE, Fourbush decrease, CME, etc. Chacaltaya Altitude: 5600 m (16.34° S, 68.12° W)

Rn-222 Pb-210 Be-7 Stratosphere Troposphere Cosmic Ray origin and Earth origin Rn-222 Pb-210 3.8 day Attempting to remove the environmental effects of the Earth
11
Monthly profiles of Be-7 and Pb-210 concentrations @ Chacaltaya The profiles show a seasonal variation, including different variability.
12
Daily profiles of Be-7 and Pb-210 concentrations @ Chacaltaya Sharp peaks of Be-7 is visible compared to Pb-210
13
Periodic components of Be-7 and Pb-210 concentrations Be-7 Pb-210 For the days from100 to 200, the periodicity around 27-day are different for the Be-7 and the Pb-210.
14
Correlation between daily concentrations of Be-7 and Pb-210
15
Be-7 concentrations subtracting the correlation components between Be-7 and Pb-210 Be-7s show up sharp peaks with a periodic component around 27-day.
16
Summary In addition to the observation of daily Be-7 concentrations in the atmosphere at middle latitude from 2000, we started daily observation of Be-7 concentrations at Chacaltaya in the altitude of 5600 m from September 2009. Using correlation with Pb-210, we tried to extract the variation of Be-7 connecting to short term solar variability for one year data.
