Summary

This data set contains daily atmospheric CO2 concentrations from
four Former Soviet Union-operated sampling site: Teriberka Station
69N 35E; Ocean Station Charlie 52N 35W; Bering Island 55N 165E; and
Kotelny Island 76N 137E). The period of record varies by station:
Teriberka Station, March 1988-March 1991; Ocean Station Charlie,
January 1983-October ... 1990; Bering Island, May 1985-March 1991; and
Kotelny Island, August 1986-January 1991. These CO2 concentrations are derived
from air samples collected in 1.5-L stainless steel electropolished flasks and
later analyzed at the Main Geophysical Observatory (St. Petersburg)
using a nondispersive infrared gas analyzer.

These atmospheric CO2 concentrations are considered indicative of regional
background air conditions and are directly traceable to the World
Meteorological Organization's primary CO2 standards. These measurements
support the rising trend in atmospheric CO2 concentrations measured at other
monitoring sites around the world and may be compared with similar measurements
made by various monitoring programs at other northern latitude sites.

The NDP consists of a written document and a magnetic tape containing
seven files: four data files (one for each station) that provide the
atmospheric CO2 concentrations from individual flask measurements, a
descriptive file, and FORTRAN and SAS computer codes to access the
data files. The written document presents the atmospheric CO2
concentrations in graphic and tabular form, describes the sampling
methods, defines limitations and restrictions of the data, and
describes the information on the magnetic media. The data files range
in size from 0.97 to 20.01 kB.
