All Global Stations Excluding ALT and PTB Isotopic 18O Trends
Description
Black Dots: Monthly average atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration versus time at stations in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres where CO2 concentration is in parts per million in the mole fraction (p.p.m.).
Black Curves: The sum of 4 seasonal harmonics and a spline function to the stations CO2 concentration data. The seasonal harmonics include a linear gain factor, to represent increasing amplitude with time.
Station code names are as follows: LJO = La Jolla, BCS = , MLO = Mauna Loa Observatory, KUM = Cape Kumukahi, Hawaii, FAN = Fanning Island, CHR = Christmas Island, SAM = Samoa, KER = Kermadec Island, NZD = Baring Head, New Zealand, and SPO = South Pole.
