Characterization of the <sup>222</sup>Rn family turbulent transport in the convective atmospheric boundary layer

The combined effect of turbulent transport and radioactive decay on the distribution of <sup>222</sup>Rn and its progeny in convective atmospheric boundary layers (CBL) is investigated. Large eddy simulation is used to simulate their dispersion in steady state CBL and in unsteady conditi...
