An analytical solution to the leaky-box model of a natural carboniferous reservoir is used to investigate the variation in radiocarbon (C-14) concentration in earth's atmosphere and oceans for three different forms of the C-14 production rate in the upper atmosphere. The three forms of the production rate correspond to cases of an average galactic cosmic-ray intensity, a deltoid production rate (which reflects the effects on earth's environment of solar flares, supernovae, and nuclear weapons tests), and a harmonic effect (e.g., solar modulation or cyclic variations in the geomagnetic field). The dependence of the amplitude function on the period of the variation in atmospheric C-14 production rate is plotted for a two-box model of a carboniferous exchange reservoir as well as for the leaky-box model.
