Arctic troposphere carbon dioxide: low-altitude aircraft sampling

Data from low altitude (<4500 m) aircraft sampling for CO/sub 2/ in the arctic atmosphere are presented. The data cover the period from late spring to late summer when environmental changes at the tundra and sea ice are most pronounced. Results of the data analysis show the effect of regional sou...

Description
Summary:Data from low altitude (<4500 m) aircraft sampling for CO/sub 2/ in the arctic atmosphere are presented. The data cover the period from late spring to late summer when environmental changes at the tundra and sea ice are most pronounced. Results of the data analysis show the effect of regional sources and sinks for CO/sub 2/ on the lower troposphere. The annual ice and open water zones of the Arctic Ocean covered by the flights transects appear to act as a potential sink for carbon dioxide.
