The Class VI injection well program for carbon sequestration under federal law, for example, requires CCS developers to do thorough seismic measurements of the subsurface and ensure a stable overhead rock before obtaining a permit to shoot CO2 underground.
The fall of 2015 could be the last time the reading dipped below that mark at Mauna Loa — which has become a kind of global bellwether as the first place where CO2 concentrations were actively monitored — and, perhaps, at the 12 other sites where Keeling's program now makes the same measurements from the Arctic to the Antarctic.
Science historians would point out that Professor Revelle did not prompt the first CO2 measurement in the atmosphere; what he prompted was the first sampling of air from locations around the world, and it was actually Harry Wexler, the head of the Weather Service at the time, who prompted and actually funded the start of the long - term monitoring program by David Keeling on Mauna Loa — so Revelle did play a very important role in stimulating observations (and in 1965 he chaired the panel on this issue that prepared a quite insightful appendix for the report of the President's Scientific Advisory Council), but Revelle was not the very first to urge CO2 be measured in the atmosphere.
The 0.9 degr.C for 2xCO2 is from the Modtran program, carefully composed from laboratory measurements, where line by line absorption characteristics were measured and implemented for different air pressures (heights), water, CO2 and CH4 levels, for different parts of the globe and with or without clouds, rain,... That is a basic «model», without any real life feedbacks (except water vapor, which may be included in different ways).
Measurements of key greenhouse gases, including CO2 and CH4, are essential parts of a program to understand climate forcings and trends.
