What is CO2 in the Atmosphere: Growth and Trends Since 1850 about?

Very accurate long-term measurements of atmospheric CO~2~ concentrationsbi are needed to understand the role of human activities on the greenhouse effect, as well as the interactions between anthropogenic emissions and the natural carbon cycle. Knowledge of the carbon cycle has been acquired through the development describes the development of atmospheric measurement networks and methods for measuring CO~2~ in the atmosphere, including the measurement of CO~2~ in air bubbles extracted from ice cores, the emergence of precise in situ measurements at the beginning of the 1960s, and the operational networks now deployed in certain parts of the world. The surface network of atmospheric stations where CO~2~ is measured, either in air samples or by in situ instrumentation, made up of about 150 monitoring sites, supplemented by airborne measurements on board of research and commercial aircrafts, is coordinated by international projects aimed at guaranteeing a long-term measurement compatibility to within approximately 0.025‰ (0.1 ppm). This level of accuracy is necessary to characterize atmospheric signals such as the long-term trend, which has risen in 60 years from 1 to 2.2 ppm/year, bu
