The radionuclide measurements database, Swider and Hornsund 2002-...

The radionuclide measurements database contains data obtained in the Geophysical Observatory of the Institute of Geophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Świder since 2002, in Wólka Mlądzka near Otwock between 2010-2016 and in the Polish Polar Station in Hornsund since 2002. The measurements are conducted in cooperation with the National Centre For Nuclear Research. The idea behind the creation and development of the database originated from the research on the Earth's Global Electric Circuit in terms of the influence of air ionization of both terrestrial and extraterrestrial origin on electrical parameters in the lower layers of the atmosphere in the middle and polar latitudes. Data collected in this database can be used to analyze the transport of stratospheric air masses due to radionuclides acting as tracers of these movements.
