Abstract Concentrations of natural 7Be in air and rainwater were monitored for one year at Hokitika, New Zealand. The mean airborne concentration was 3.1±1.3 mBq m−3, the mean Hokitika, New Zealand. The mean airborne concentration was 3.1±1.3 mBq m−3, the mean concentration in rainwater was 2600±1200 Bq m−3, and the mean total deposition was estimated to be 130±99 Bq m−2 wk−1. Most of the 7Be was wet deposited and the washout ratio was independent of precipitation amount. A significant linear relationship exists between the weekly wet deposition flux and weekly precipitation at this high-rainfall site.
