The following is a comparative study on the quality of the radiometric geophysical data acquired in wet and dry conditions on semi-flat terrain. In this work, we attempted to highlight soil moisture as one of the primary factors directly influencing the gamma acquisition statistics and the airborne acquisition conditions for each case. We also highlighted the conditions of topographic altimetry that directly affect the statistical results of gamma spectrometry. It was possible to verify the elevation levels in the concentration count of uranium emanating from radium, as suggested by Charbonneau & Darnley (1970) and Grasty (1997). The values found in humid environments show a 50% increase in uranium concentrations in the atmosphere and a 50% increase in concentrations calculated by the U/K ratio, which revealed by hydrothermal zones.Downloads
