7Be, as a tracer for atmosphere transmission, seasonal transfer of surface soils and for particulate mixing, has been applied widely. Its concentration distribution in different space is an investigative groundwork in many science fields. Based on the different locations and altitude between Mt. Waliguan and Mt. Guanfeng, contrast observation of 7Be concentrations in the surface air will be beneficial to understanding of environmental processes of atmosphere and the earth’s surface regionally, and as well as globally. From 9 Oct., 2002 to 21 Jan., 2004, filter samples in the surface air at Mt. Waliguan and Mt. Guanfeng, China were collected once a week. Synchronous detailed γ-energy spectrometric counting of 7Be activity by both Chinese and USA laboratories has shown that weekly variations in 7Be concentrations were in good agreement, and that short, two-six-week fluctuating periods were found at Mt. Waliguan and Mt. Guanfeng with the annual averages of 7Be concentrations to be (14.7±1.5) mBq/m3 and (4.1±0.9) mBq/m3, respectively. Based on the comparison between 7Be concentration and rainfall in the same periods, significantly inverse relationship was found at both observation sites at a weekly scale. But 7Be concentrations show stable at those two sites at a monthly mean scale.
