Summary

We have used the Mauna Loa monthly CO2 data set to isolate and characterize changes in the anthropogenic and biological contributions to atmospheric CO2 concentrations between 1960 and 2017. We have also studied variability in the seasonal cycle, driven by changes in photosynthesis and respiration from year to year. But is the CO2 record from Mauna Loa, a mountain in Hawaii, representative of the global variability in atmospheric CO2?
