Radon storm

A radon storm is a day-long episode of increased atmospheric radon concentration due to moving air masses.[1] In Antarctica and over the Southern Ocean, they often occur due to the arrival of continental air from South America[2] and Africa[3] and the concept was coined to describe sudden radon concentration increases there.[4] Naturally, radon increases in concentration threefold in antarctic air in the summer months of December and January.[4]
