Sentences with phrase «mauna loa»
Looking at Figure 3, if «mauna loa inferred emissions» is the observed change in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, then it shoud be the sum of anthropogenic emissions and the net natural flux imbalance (NNFI).

In fact the Mauna Loa or global CO2 rise is much faster than linear... the differences between the mauna loa / global are negligible for the purpose of radiative transfer, and the difference in average CO2 concentration between an «average global» data - set and the Mauna Loa record since 1980 (for monthly values) is only 0.65 ppm (and with a correlation coefficient r greater than 0.99) indicating that the Mauna Loa record is representative of global - scale CO2 concentration as you'd expect with a well - mixed gas.
I make no conclusions about any of this as co2 readings made in the relatively recent - pre mauna loa era - are regularly discounted.
I seem to recall the atmospheric CO2 trend was established initially from just one location (mauna loa).
please read Z. Jaworowski's (with Segalstad and Ono) many papers on this subject of trapped gases in glaciers, where he discusses the over 20 mechanical and chemical processes that make accurate measurements impossible; even in shallow cores above the point where co2 is supposedly permanently trap in ice cavities in the firn, co2 concentrations are already 20 - 40 % lower than those measured in air at mauna loa.
Lest we forget (and we always forget...), the carbon growth rate has been tracking temperature since the inception of the mauna loa observatory data set 58 years ago.
The data at mauna loa has an hourly automated recording http://gaw.kishou.go.jp/wdcgg/PlotData.php?index=mlo519n0¶meter=co2 yet it takes 5 months to reach the datacenter.
