Abstract

This paper presents a 2-year record (from September 1996 to July 1998) of atmospheric ¹⁴CO measurements on whole air samples taken at the Mt. Sonnblick observatory (3106 m), a remote high-altitude site in Central Europe. An overall measurement precision of ca. 1/4 molecule ¹⁴CO per cm³ air has been achieved. A few events including unexpectedly low CO and ¹⁴CO values in winter 1996/97 will be discussed in some detail incorporating stable isotope information. Since the amount of ¹⁴CO data available for the Northern Hemisphere (NH) is rather sparse, this most detailed long-term ¹⁴CO record for NH temperate latitudes may be a valuable contribution to the assessment of global atmospheric OH concentrations.

Funding

“CO–OH-Europe”, a project funded by the European Community since 1996, aims at improving this situation. This European scientific network comprises 5 air sampling sites. (Mt. Sonnblick/Austria: 47°N, 13°E, 3106 m; Schauinsland/Germany: 48°N, 8°E, 1205 m; Kollumerwaard/The Netherlands: 53°N, 6°E, 0 m; Spitsbergen/Norway: 79°N, 12°E, 474 m; Izaña/Tenerife/Spain: 28°N, 16°W, 2300 m), one stable isotope lab for stable isotope analysis of 13 C, 18 O and 17 O (Mainz/Germany), and 3 AMS laboratories for 14 C analysis (Vienna/Austria; Groningen/The Netherlands; Uppsala/Sweden).
