WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin (GHG Bulletin) - No. 15: The State of Greenhouse Gases in the Atmosphere Based on Global Observations through 2018
Measurements of the content of radiocarbon (14C) in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) provide a unique way to discriminate between fossil fuel combustion and natural sources of CO2. Simultaneous observations of CO2 and 14C demonstrate the decline of 14C content in atmospheric CO2 caused by CO2 addition from fossil fuel combustion. This finding illustrates the importance of long-term measurements of atmospheric composition by laboratories involved in the WMO Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) Programme in helping identify greenhouse gas emission sources.

Бюллетень ВМО по Парниковым Газам - № 15: Содержание парниковых газов в атмосфере по данным глобальных наблюдений в 2018 г.
Измерения концентрации радиоактивного углерода (14C) в составе атмосферного углекислого газа (CO2) дают уникальный способ отличить продукты сжигания ископаемого топлива от природных источников CO2. Одновременные наблюдения за CO2 и 14C свидетельствуют о снижении содержания 14C в атмосферном CO2, вызванном выбросом в атмосферу дополнительных объемов CO2 в результате сжигания ископаемого топлива. Этот вывод иллюстрирует важность проведения долгосрочных измерений состава атмосферы лабораториями, участвующими в Программе Глобальной службы атмосферы ВМО (ГСА), для содействия установлению источников ...
