Summary

Abstract: The Air Resources Laboratory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) established four baseline monitoring stations in
the mid-1970's to conduct continuous measurements of atmospheric
mixing ratios. The stations are operated by NOAA's Climate Monitoring
and Diagnostics laboratory (CMDL) at: Point Barrow, Alaska; Cape
Matatula, American Samoa; Mauna Loa, Hawaii; and South Pole,
Antarctica.

Data provided by NOAA/CMDL include:

Point Barrow, Alaska (1973-1998)
Mauna Loa, Hawaii (1974-1998)
Cape Matatula, American Samoa (1976-1996)
South Pole, Antarctica (1975-1998)
