Monthly atmospheric CO2 mixing ratios from Mauna Loa, Hawaii, U.S.

Background atmospheric CO2 mixing ratios from individual flask air samples for
Mauna Loa, Hawaii, U.S. Only measurements satisfying the data selection criteria fro background
measurements are plotted. Consecutive background measurements are joined by lines. Background
measurements interrupted by non-background measurements are not joined by lines.
Monthly atmospheric CO2 mixing ratios for Mauna Loa, Hawaii, U.S., expressed in parts per million (ppm) and
reported in the Scripps Institution of Oceanography X93 manometric mole fraction scale. Annual values were
calculated by CDIAC for years with complete records. Missing values are denoted by -99.99.
