Mauna Loa Atmospheric CO2 Concentration

Description

Atmospheric concentrations of CO2 are expressed in parts per million (ppm) and reported in the preliminary 1997 SIO manometric mole fraction scale.

The values for February, March and April of 1964 were missing and have been obtained by interpolating linearly between the values for January and May of 1964.
