| Zusammenfassung |
| Trends of carbon monoxide (CO) for the past 100 years are reported as
derived from Antarctic firn drilling expeditions. Only one of 3 campaigns
provided high quality results. The trend was reconstructed using a firn air
model in the forward mode to constrain age distributions and assuming the CO
increase to be proportional to its major source, namely CH4. The
results suggest that CO has increased by ~38%, from 38±7 to
52.5±1.5 ppbv over a period of roughly 100 years. The concentrations
are on the volumetric scale which corresponds to ~1.08 of the scale
used by NOAA/CMDL. The estimated CO increase is somewhat larger than what is
estimated from the CO budget estimations and the CH4 growth alone. The
most likely explanation might be an increase in biomass burning emissions.
Using CH3Cl as another proxy produces a very similar reconstruction. |
