Abstract:
This dataset consists of monthly carbon dioxide (CO2) mixing ratios from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL - formally the Geophysical Monitoring for Climate Change (GMCC)), Carbon Cycle Cooperative Global Air Sampling Network.
