Influence of meteorological parameters on atmospheric CO2 at Bharati, the Indian Antarctic research station
During the 35th Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica, measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) were carried out using a Li-Cor CO2/H2O analyser at Bharati, the Indian Antarctic research station. This study examines the short-term variability of atmospheric CO2 during the austral summer...
