  • 224Ra in the seawater of the East China Sea (ECS) were measured using Mn-fiber adsorption—emanation method. The content level and distribution feature of 224Ra in sea water in summer and winter were studied. The 224Ra activities were < LLD~5.88Bq/m3 with an average of 0.85Bq/m3 in the summer and < LLD~7.50Bq/m3 with an average of 0.72Bq/m3 in the winter. Both seasons 224Ra in the surface water have similar distribution and decreased rapidly with the increasing distance from the coast. The high 224Ra activity at 0.5-7.5Bq/m3 is located within 30-100km offshore and the lowest activity at < 0.13Bq/m3 was in the Kuroshio Current. The 224Ra concentrations in the middle shelf are 0.13-0.5Bq/m3. The vertical distributions showed two different characteristics. The horizontal and vertical eddy diffusion coefficients calculated by the one-dimensional state model of 224Ra were (7.1-88.9)×106cm2/s and 2.18-163cm2/s, respectively. The upwelling rates off Zhejiang were calculated using 224Ra vertical distribution, which varied between (8.4-13.3)×10-3cm/s in the summer and (16.3-16.8)×10-3cm/s in the winter.
