affected by the behavior of radioactive material in the
atmosphere which is affected by atmospheric phenomena.
The high radioactivity of the Equatorial Counter Gurrent
is due to the fact that the location of the Equatorial
Counter Current coincides with that of the climatic
equator, thus the amount of precipitation is large in
this areca during the period of nuclear tests.
