The impact of local winds and long-range transport on the continuous carbon dioxide record at Mount Waliguan, China
This paper describes the continuous measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide at Mt. Waliguan (36degrees17'N, 100degrees54'E, 3816 m asl) in western China over the period 1994-2000. The CO2 hourly mixing ratios were segregated by horizontal wind direction/speed and vertical winds, respect...
