A three-dimensional Eulerian numerical model for 222Rn and its decay products coupled with a mesoscale meteorological model, MM5-TMNR, is applied to investigate the mechanism of the naturally induced increase in gamma dose rate observed at the coastal area of Fukushima prefecture in October 2002. The results obtained by MM5-TMNR are verified by comparisons with observed wind, precipitation and gamma dose rate to be adequate for examining the mechanism. The unusual increase in gamma dose rate is observed by the combination of the synoptic-scale (about 2000 to 5000 km horizontally) transport of natural radionuclides due to the inflow of cold air mass from the Asian Continent and the meso-β-scale (about 20 to 200 km horizontally) precipitation process within the coastal area of Fukushima prefecture. The contribution rate of natural radionuclides from the Asian Continent to the increase in gamma dose rate is estimated to be more than 60%.
