Abstract

The concentration of atmospheric CO₂ was measured continuously in the suburbs of Sendai, Japan for the period December 1978–June 1981. The diurnal CO₂ variation was greatest in July and August and was barely observable during the cold months from November to April. The seasonal CO₂ variation was highly irregular and a decrease of CO₂ concentration with height was found throughout the year, presumably reflecting a substantial influence of local soil respiration. Daily minimum values of CO₂ concentration, however, showed a fairly regular seasonal trend and an average rate of C₂ increase of 1.6 ppmv yr⁻¹, which are very close to the results of our aircraft measurements in the lower troposphere for the same period. 1985 Blackwell Munksgaard
