Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide: A Fresh Look at Exchange Flux, Isotopic Carbon, Fossil Fuel Emissions and Residence Time
Stephen Taylor
Abstract:This paper presents a new implementation of a 2-box absolute flow model, enabling the calculation of CO2 transfer between the atmosphere and a mixing reservoir representing the combined effect of the terrestrial and ocean regions. The model uses published values of anthropogenic CO2 fossil fuel emissions (CO2ff), atmospheric CO2 mixing ratio and nuclear weapons bomb yields, to compute atmospheric d13C and Δ14C time-series. The level of agreement between the calculated values and the accepted values f… Show more
