The results of the field experiments of HTO washout with rainfall in the vicinity of the HT and HTO emission source are presented. The objective of the current study was to obtain the direct experimental data on the impact of raindrops characteristics (rate and spectrum of the drops) on HTO washout from the atmosphere. The results can be applied in for the development and validation of various models of washout.
