Body
The atmospheric carbon dioxide content was monitored continuously near Pretoria for 15 months. Variations on the timescale of hours, days and seasons were observed and related to source and meteorological parameters. Seasonal variations were found to be greater inland than usually observed at near-coastal stations and are related to continental vegetation influences. Radiocarbon analyses show that fossil CO2 pollution is small at this site.
