Abstract Relationship between atmospheric deposition fluxes and concentrations of Si and210Po in the surface air were examined through daily basis simultaneous observation at the coast of the Japan Sea. Both the Si and210Po, the atmospheric fluxes were highly variable from day to day. According to correlation analysis, there was no significant correlation between flux and atmospheric concentration of these terrigenous materials in the surface air. On the other hand, flux of Si and210Po significantly correlated to precipitation rate. These results indicate that the atmospheric flux of terrigenous material is not constantly proportional to atmospheric concentration in the surface air. This may be due to the deposition flux represents an integrated value throughout the air column of in-and below-cloud, while the air concentration represents only the environment of earth's surface.
