AbstractThe reconstructed fallout map consists of a point dataset, containing deposition densities of radiocesium and the geographic coordinates (WGS84) of the median points of the quarter grid squares (250 m x 250 m mesh). It should be noted that the detection limit of 137Cs deposition density for the airborne monitoring surveys was set to below 5 kBq m2 to evaluate deposition densities in less contaminated areas, and a value of zero was assigned instead. The reference date of the combined fallout map is the same as that of the third airborne monitoring survey, July 2, 2011. The detailed description of methods to produce the data is available in the following article. ---Kato, H., Onda, Y., (2018) Determining the initial Fukushima reactor accident-derived cesium-137 fallout in forested areas of municipalities in Fukushima Prefecture.
