One Trace Analytical gas chromatograph, labeled “RGA3-1“ (R1) was used over the length of the record. Further det
8、ails of CSIROs global sampling network, sampling procedure, and analytical techniques are provided elsewhere (Francey et al., 1996); measurement uncertainty is discussed by Langenfelds et al. (2001). Data are linked to the gravimetrically-derived scale of NOAA/CMDL (Novelli et al., 1991) using a sin
9、gle high-pressure cylinder standard with a CO-in-dry-air mole fraction of 196 ppb. This standard is one of five synthetic mixtures of CO2, CH4 and CO in zero air, in the range 30-196 ppb, that were calibrated at NOAA/CMDL between 1992 and 1994. Stability of the CSIRO scale and variations in instrume
10、nt response are monitored with 20 high-pressure cylinder standards, with lifetimes of 4-10+ years, spanning a CO mole fraction range of 20-400 ppb. More detailed calibration information is given by Langenfelds et al. (2001). A number of observed systematic influences complicate the inter-comparabili
11、ty of atmospheric CO measurements made by different laboratories. Comparison of CSIRO and NOAA flask measurements indicates a mean difference of 5.9 1.7 ppb; that is, the differences frequently exceed 10% of the measured CO concentrations at high latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere (where the lowes
12、t CO concentrations are typically found). More details and possible reasons for the differences are discussed in detail by Masarie et al. (2001). These data represent monthly means, calculated as the mean of daily values from a smooth curve fit to the data using the curve-fitting routines described

Estevan Point, BC, Canada Estevan Point, BC, Canada 4923 N, 12632 W, 39 m , above MSL4923 N, 12632 W, 39 m , above MSL Trends Trends An annual pattern of CO is evident, largely due to an increase in its destruction by the OH radical during the summer months. Additional infl
14、uences include spatial and seasonal differences in source strength associated with varying trajectories of arriving air at different times of the year. The annual average mixing ratio at Estevan Point for 2001 had decreased by about 12 percent of its 1994 value. An anomalous string of high monthly v
15、alues during October-December 1998, coupled with higher than normal values during the preceding summer, contributed to an anomalously high annual average mixing ratio (148 ppb) for 1998. Elevated CO mixing ratios were observed on a global scale during 1998 (see Langenfelds et al., 2002). References
