global precipitation tritium time-series Data
This web page hosts interpolated precipitation tritium data. The data are presented in an excel spreadsheet, and are based on measurements of precipitation tritium made around the globe. The methodology is presented in Jasechko and Taylor (see the supplementary information). There are numerous limitations associated with the grids, some of which arise from (a) discontinuous data at measurement stations (see figure below), and (b) uneven distribution of measurement stations (see figure below). Please consider keeping these caveats in mind, should you wish to use the dataset below.
