HuID: | 98043 | |
Relevant Year(s): | 2018 | |
Summary: | The increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) mass in the atmosphere on an annual basis. The value reported is for 2018, and can be found in Table 6 of Friedlingstein et al (2019). | |
Method: | The uncertainty value represents one standard deviation. Atmospheric CO2 concentration is measured directly and its growth rate is computed from the annual changes in concentration. | |
