Short summary
Here we present a global dataset of air concentration and depositional flux measurements of atmospheric 7Be and 210Pb. The dataset could be used to better understand the transport processes of air masses and depositional processes of aerosols. This dataset not only lays a solid foundation to develop better parameterizations contributing to future modeling efforts but also supplies a basic parameter for tracing soil erosion, particle dynamics, and ocean surface process using 7Be and/or 210Pb.
