Graph request

[fred2014]

OK let's try it this way:

 

Does anyone have a graph showing the average global accumulation of CO2 against

altitude.

 

One 2 axis graph (altitude and %concentration) - no names of height - nothing else.

 

Also does anone have a map showing a plan view of the globe with CO2 density clearly indicated

over identifiable locations.

 

Nothing else. No opinions.

Just one graph and one map both from identifiable and generally considered reliable sources.

 

If either doesn't exist please just say so and I'll stop asking.

And please refrain from polluting the thread.

 

[Strange]

The map that was posted in the other thread looks pretty good: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=82142

 

The lighter colours show higher concentrations of CO2. You can click on the image to get a much larger version. But is that not what you need?

 

As to altitude, to avoid further argument, perhaps you need to clarify what range of altitudes you are interested in.

 

A quick search found this paper: http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/11/2455/2011/acp-11-2455-2011.pdf

It is pretty complex, I have only skimmed it but it seems to indicate that the variation with altitude (up to about 25km) is very small. This may vary with location and time of year. Which is apart of the problem: what seems like a simple question is actually pretty complex.

 

Hope that helps. And I hope you get better answers this time ...
