Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) mole fraction, CO2 flux, and others collected from Salt Lake City CO2 measurement network in Western U.S. from 2001-02-07 to 2015-10-23 (NCEI Accession 0170450)

This dataset contains atmospheric measurements of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Salt Lake City CO2 measurement network from 2001-2015 as well as several supporting data sets used to interpret the mixing ratio data. The additional datasets include atmospheric footprints (i.e., the upstream influence region on the atmospheric measurement site), fluxes of CO2 from anthropogenic and biological sources, and gridded population in the state of Utah.
