Your analysis of the arctic climate is fantastic and I like reading your climate summaries. One thing I've always wondered- are there any other global C02 measurements. I know it is measured at a single station at altitude in Hawaii. It would make sense to me if there were lots more of these which could be tracked over time. 😊
Thank you. Yes, C02 concentration is measured at a large number of places around the world. The Mauna Loa, HI is often cited because it has the longest continuous record of free atmosphere C02 measurements (air bubbles trapped in Greenland and Antarctic ice cores extend the record back many thousands of years). The NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory maintains a website that plots CO2 measurements from several of the sites they operate around the world: https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/gl_trend.html

Thank you for replying, I will have a look at the NOAA site 👍
Excellent. Looking forward to the wrap up. The boreal fire situation ties right in, I imagine. Here's to the high Arctic and the people who love her.
