Short summary

The radionuclides ⁷Be and ¹⁰Be are useful tracers for atmospheric transport studies. Here we use the GEOS-Chem to simulate ⁷Be and ¹⁰Be with different production rates: the default production rate in GEOS-Chem and two from the state-of-the-art beryllium production model. We demonstrate that reduced uncertainties in the production rates can enhance the utility of ⁷Be and ¹⁰Be as tracers for evaluating transport and scavenging processes in global models.
