Ice core record of the 13C/12C ratio of atmospheric CO2 in the past two centuries
- 1. Bern Univ. (Switzerland). Physikalisches Inst.
Description
The authors have measured delta13C of CO2 separated from air trapped in bubbles in ice samples from an ice core taken at Siple Station in Antarctica, in which it has been possible to demonstrate the atmospheric increase of CO2 and methane with high time resolution. The isotopic results, together with the CO2 record from the same ice core, yield information on the sources of excess carbon dioxide and provide a data base for testing the consistency of global carbon cycle models.
