Summary
Abstract: Methods:

Air samples are collected biweekly at the South Pole in 5-L evacuated glass flasks exposed as triplets. From 1957 until October 1963, 5-L glass flasks were exposed as singlets or pairs biweekly. Between 1960 and 1963, continuous in situ measurements of atmospheric CO2 concentrations were made. The data presented here are derived from both the flask sampling program and the continuous ...
