Modelling 85Kr datasets with python for applications in tracer hydrology and to investigate atmospheric circulation
January 2021 • Arne Kersting, Sofia Brander, Axel Suckow
We present a model written in python to evaluate data from comprehensive <sup>85</sup>Kr collection schemes comprising 11 datasets from different monitoring stations around the globe. The model is designed to (1) calculate atmospheric input functions for the application of <sup>85</sup>Kr as a dating tracer and (2) to investigate atmospheric circulation based on a two-box model of the atmosphere. Different functions were implemented, to (1) filter the data, (2) fit polynomials and running means, (3) extrapolate fi…
