A continuous recording accumulator method has been employed to study the effect of natural pressure cycles such as due to the passage of cyclonic weather systems on the time-averaged flux of 222Rn from the soil. Results indicate a modest net enhancement of flux (~10%) for pressure variation with standard deviations on the order of 0.2 in Hg.
