Abstract:
The bulk gross alpha, gross beta and (7)Be depositional fluxes were measured in Málaga (36.7 degrees N, 4.5 degrees W), a coastal Mediterranean station in the south of Spain for one whole year. In order to quantify the local variation of deposition rates, we have analysed the monthly results from two deposition collectors: a "pot "collector with a continuous water-covered surface and a "funnel" collector. In general, the alpha and beta depositional fluxes from the funnel collector were approximately two times lower than the pot collector. Whereas for the cosmogenic (7)Be, the depositional flux of (7)Be from funnel collector was also approximately two times lower than the pot collector. A good correlation of the depositional flux of (7)Be has been obtained from both collectors.

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
Sampling Plans
Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...
