******************************************************************* *** CO2 averages derived from continuous data for the *** *** South Pole Station *** *** *** *** *** *** September 2004 *** *** *** *** Source: Carbon Dioxide Research Group *** *** Scripps Institution of Oceanography *** *** University of California, San Diego *** *** La Jolla, California, USA 92023-0444 *** ******************************************************************* These averages are ultimately based on measurements of 4 air samples per hour taken atop intake lines on several towers during steady periods of CO2 concentration of not less than 6 hours per day; if no such periods are available on a given day, then no data are used for that day. The "Weight" column gives the number of days used in each average. At the South Pole, this number is always 1. Flag codes are explained in the NDP writeup, available electronically from the home page of this data set. CO2 concentrations are in terms of the 1999 calibration scale (Keeling et al., 2002) available electronically from the references in the NDP writeup which can be accessed from the home page of this data set.
