Global atmospheric CO2 distribution and variations from 1968–1982 NOAA/GMCC CO2 flask sample data
Abstract
CO 2 data obtained from discrete sampling during 1968–1982 at 23 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Geophysical Monitoring for Climatic Change and foreign cooperative stations are presented, together with a description of the measurement program and data quality. Monthly, seasonal, and annual CO 2 concentrations are determined by the individual stations from select (background) data. Temporal and spatial global CO 2 distributions yield annual and seasonal latitudinal gradients, abundances, airborne fractions, annual cycle amplitudes and phases, annual cycle amplitude growth rates, and global growth rate variations of CO 2. The time‐series data sets reveal variations related to several El Niño/Southern Oscillation events, particularly with respect to the strength of the CO 2 source in the equatorial Pacific Ocean and global CO 2 growth rates. CO 2 growth rate anomalies correlate highly with the Southern Oscillation Index, which is related to the strength of the easterly trade winds that blow along the equator.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
