BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES: CARBON MONOXIDE

Item #d95apr76

"OH Radical-Initiated Photooxidation of Isoprene: An Estimate of Global CO Production," A. Miyoshi (Dept. Reaction Chem., Univ. Tokyo, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113, Japan), S. Hatakeyama, N. Washida, J. Geophys. Res., 99(D9), 18,779-18,787, Sep. 20, 1994. Estimates global CO production from natural hydrocarbons to be 200 ± 60 Tg C/yr.

Item #d95apr77

"Ozone and Carbon Monoxide Measurements at a Remote Maritime Location, Mace Head, Ireland, from 1990 to 1992," R.G. Derwent (U.K. Meteor. Off., Bracknell, Berkshire RG12 2S7, UK), P.G. Simmonds, W.J. Collins, Atmos. Environ., 28(16), 2623-2637, Sep. 1994. CO concentrations for northwest Europe increased over the period by about 0.8 ppb/yr.

Item #d95apr78

"Global Decrease in Atmospheric Carbon Monoxide Concentration," (see Global Climate Change Digest, Sep. 1994).

Item #d95apr79

"Carbon Monoxide Budget in the Northern Hemisphere," P.S. Bakwin (CIRES, Univ. Colorado, Boulder CO 80309), P.P. Tans, P.C. Novelli, Geophys. Res. Lett., 21(6), 433-436, Mar. 15, 1994.

Used a simple two-box model to examine the impact of shrinking emissions and increasing OH on global abundance, and found each contributes about equally in reducing CO levels in the troposphere by about 1.8 ± 0.8 ppb/yr on average.

Specialized Papers

Item #d95apr81

"Reevaluation of the NOAA/CMDL Carbon Monoxide Reference Scale and Comparisons with CO Reference Gases at NASA-Langley and the Fraunhofer Institut," P.C. Novelli (CIRES, Univ. Colorado, Boulder CO 80309), J.E. Collins Jr. et al., J. Geophys. Res., 99(D6), 12,833-12,839, June 20, 1994.
