  1. Atmospheric Research, Victoria (Australia); and others
Since 1982, atmospheric CO{sub 2} has been continually sampled at the Australian Baseline Air Pollution Station, Cape Grim, gasmania, to determine stable-isotope ratios. This database has several unique factors as a globally representative signal from a surface site; the process of in situ extraction of CO{sub 2} form air, the preponderance of samples collected in conditions of strong wind from the marine boundary layer of the Southern Ocean, and the determination of all isotope ratios relative to a common high-purity CO{sub 2} reference tas with isotopic {sup 13}C close to atmospheric values.
