Abstract
Tropospheric transport calculations of debris from nuclear bomb tests in the atmosphere at Novaya Zemlya in October 1958 and November 1962 have been performed and compared with daily measured radioactivity in air at Norwegian monitoring sites. Our analysis of potential vorticity (PV) anomaly strongly indicate that episodic intrusion of stratospheric air into the troposphere is the most probable transport mechanism for the peaks in radioactivity measured in Norway.
