Description
Atmospheric flask CO2 and isotopic data sets taken at 14 sampling stations. The stations ALT, PTB, LJO, MLO, KUM, CHR, SAM, KER, NZD, SPO are active and generate ongoing data sets, which will be updated when new data is available. The stations STP, BCS, FAN, and PSA are no longer active, but are included here as legacy station data. The data are provided as replicate averages of flasks collected on a given date ("daily "), as well as monthly averages. The resolution of the replicate averages depends on sampling frequency, which is station dependent, typically between weekly and fortnightly (once every two weeks). These data are subject to revision based on recalibration of standard gases.

For applications supporting peer-reviewed scientific publications, coauthorship may sometimes be appropriate. An example would be if an important result or conclusion depends on this product, such as the first account of a previously unreported phenomenon. Ethical usage requires disclosing intentions at early stages of the work in order to avoid duplicating ongoing studies at Scripps. For applications where coauthorship is not needed, which includes all applications outside of the peer-reviewed scientific literature, it is sufficient to acknowledge the Scripps CO2 program as the source.

All archives include time series that extend back to the beginning of each record. Most users will want to use the most recent archive, which contains the latest data version as well as the most up-to-date records. The data in earlier archives may have been superseded in the latest version by updates to instrument calibrations or data filtering.
